00:00For the holidays, you want to take Santa's hand in your bag this year, so you pretend to sleep.
00:07When the clock rings midnight, you suddenly hear strange noises coming from the chimney.
00:12You rush into the living room, where a dark and strangely small silhouette stands next to your Christmas tree.
00:19Then she takes a step towards you.
00:21It's not Santa Claus, it's a gnome!
00:23He smiles and says,
00:25Give me the answer to this riddle, and I will send you a message from Santa Claus.
00:29I am a treat that can be transformed into several things.
00:33For example, a cake, a biscuit, or a small edible house with icing.
00:38What am I?
00:50Spice bread!
00:52The gnome gives you a letter and leaves the room by climbing the chimney.
00:56You open it and start reading.
00:58My dear friend,
01:00I am happy to announce that you are on my list of nice people this year,
01:04which means that I invite you to the Ball du Pays des Merveilles in winter, which will take place in the North Pole.
01:09You will find below all the details regarding the date and time.
01:13I can't wait to see you and offer you your gift.
01:16Ho ho ho, Santa Claus!
01:18P.S. Remember that I always precede you,
01:20but sometimes I'm just behind you.
01:23You immediately look at the time and date of the ball,
01:26but the message is coded.
01:28Can you decipher it?
01:41Santa Claus has already given you a clue to solve this riddle.
01:44I always precede you.
01:46It means that you have to replace all the letters of the date by the letters that come just after in the alphabet.
01:51The answer is therefore December 25.
01:55But what about the time of the ball?
02:09You probably understood that we cannot apply the same method here,
02:12but Santa Claus gave you another clue.
02:15He said that sometimes he is just behind you,
02:18which means that to solve this riddle,
02:21you have to replace all the letters of the time by the letters that precede them in the alphabet.
02:26And you will get the word Midnight.
02:28But how the hell are you going to be able to reach the North Pole by midnight tomorrow?
02:34At that moment, a small arrow pointing to the back of the sheet appears under the letter.
02:39Then you turn it over, and suddenly a note appears.
02:43Do not worry, I thought of everything.
02:45The answer to this riddle will wait for you tomorrow near your window.
02:48If you answer correctly, of course.
02:52Now tell me, I am one of those who pull the sled of Santa Claus,
02:55and my nose helps to light the way.
02:58Who am I?
02:59Who am I?
03:11Of course, it's Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
03:14The day of the ball is coming, and as Santa Claus said,
03:17Rudolph is waiting for you at your window.
03:20But to make sure that you are the person he has to carry,
03:23he asks you this question.
03:26At night, they come without being called.
03:28At day, they disappear without ever leaving.
03:32What are they?
03:44The stars, of course.
03:47You get on Rudolph's back,
03:49and he follows the direction of the polar star to take you to the North Pole.
03:52Rudolph drops you off at the Winter Wonders Market.
03:55The trip made you hungry,
03:57so you start looking for a place to eat.
04:00At the end, you notice three trucks serving different dishes.
04:04Take a look inside each of them.
04:07The first one serves different kinds of fried potatoes.
04:10The second one offers all kinds of spicy bread.
04:13And the third one serves all kinds of vegetable dishes.
04:16Which is the best option in your opinion?
04:22Look closer at the bag of potatoes inside the first truck.
04:25It looks like they are no longer good.
04:28Have you seen the mice in the third truck?
04:31They are stealing vegetables! Get out of the way!
04:34It is better to go to the second truck.
04:37Jack Frost greets you,
04:39and places three different kinds of spicy bread in front of you.
04:42The first one is a bag of potatoes.
04:45The second one is a bag of potatoes.
04:48The third one is a bag of potatoes.
04:51The first one is a bag of potatoes.
04:54The second one is a bag of potatoes.
04:57And the third one is a bag of potatoes.
04:59Which one will you choose?
05:12Have you noticed that the bag of spicy bread makes you wink?
05:15It is alive! You can't eat it.
05:17And the spicy bread house?
05:20Do you see the shadows of very small elves at its windows?
05:24A family lives here.
05:26You can't destroy their house.
05:28It is better to choose the slice of cake.
05:31After finishing your cake,
05:33you want to drink something.
05:36You see a cafe with a sign saying
05:38super cocktail without alcohol.
05:40So you go in.
05:42The owner of the place, Jack Skellington,
05:44welcomes you.
05:46After explaining to you that he moved to this city
05:48to escape from his scary neighbors,
05:50he offers you three different drinks.
05:53The first one is called The Scream Potion.
05:56The second one is called The Pumpkin King Latte.
05:59And the third one is called The Haunted Hot Chocolate.
06:02Which one will you order?
06:16Do you see the menu on the wall?
06:18All the ingredients of each drink are written there.
06:22The special ingredient of The Pumpkin King Latte
06:24is a piece of Jack's bone.
06:26Burke?
06:29The special ingredients of the Haunted Hot Chocolate
06:31are tiny ghosts.
06:33No thanks.
06:35But the special ingredient of The Scream Potion
06:37is mint.
06:39So this is the best option.
06:41Jack still has little things to learn
06:43to adapt to this place, doesn't he?
06:46Just after finishing your drink,
06:48you hear an announcement calling everyone
06:50to gather in front of the city center's stage.
06:53You go there.
06:55An elf walks towards the microphone installed on stage
06:57and says that the one who guesses
06:59who is the real Santa Claus will win a trip to his home.
07:02Then, three Santa Claus appear.
07:05Which one is the real Santa Claus?
07:17Look at the first Santa Claus.
07:19He wears elf shoes.
07:21His feet are too small compared to his height.
07:23And he is too thin.
07:25This can only mean one thing.
07:27Under this red coat,
07:29there is a whole band of elves
07:31stacked on top of each other.
07:33This is not the real Santa Claus.
07:37The second Santa Claus wears a skirt
07:39and hides his long hair under his hat.
07:42This must be the wife of Santa Claus,
07:44Mrs. Christmas.
07:47So now you know who is the real Santa Claus.
07:51Santa Claus congratulates you on your victory
07:53and takes you to his home.
07:55But as soon as you enter,
07:57you see three elves arguing about a broken toy.
08:00Santa Claus interrupts them
08:02to find out who broke it.
08:04The first elf says,
08:06I was sleeping, I didn't break the toy.
08:08The second elf says,
08:10I was drawing an image for Santa Claus,
08:12who broke the toy.
08:14And the third elf says,
08:16I wasn't even in the room.
08:18I listened to Mrs. Christmas read a story.
08:20Who do you think broke the toy?
08:32The third elf lies.
08:34Mrs. Christmas was on stage
08:36pretending to be Santa Claus.
08:38Do you remember?
08:40She broke the toy.
08:42After having you visit the house,
08:44Santa Claus says he has to go back to the city center.
08:46But you can stay here
08:48until the ball starts.
08:50Then he leaves.
08:52After a while, Mrs. Christmas comes to see you
08:54and tells you in a hoarse voice
08:56that she needs your help
08:58because Santa Claus had an accident
09:00and his sled is broken.
09:02You go to the site of the accident
09:04and see Santa Claus and the Grinch arguing.
09:06Santa Claus says,
09:08I lost control of my sled
09:10and I hit this tree.
09:12The Grinch says,
09:14I saw your accident,
09:16but I didn't do it for nothing.
09:18Can you tell me who is lying?
09:30There are traces of a sled
09:32in front of the scene of the accident.
09:34But since Santa Claus's broken sled
09:36shouldn't be there,
09:38the Grinch is lying.
09:40Ho Ho Ho!
09:42Merry Christmas!
