Barnaby Boggs is the most unlikely alchemist in history—a kind-hearted but catastrophically clumsy baker who stumbles upon real magic in his great-aunt’s attic. In the sleepy village of Piffle-on-the-Wold, where the biggest scandal is last year’s radish theft, Barnaby’s accidental spells turn quiet life upside down. Roses sing show tunes, streetlights bounce like rubber balls, and pumpkins develop sarcasm. The townsfolk are baffled, the mayor is furious, and only Agnes Bumble, the sharp-eyed librarian, suspects the truth. Magic has come to Piffle-on-the-Wold—and it’s utterly hopeless.

Your decisions shape the magic of Christmas. When Scott Calvin accidentally becomes Santa Claus, he must balance fatherhood, identity, and a destiny he never asked for. The line between belief and reality blurs as one man’s transformation reignites wonder in a skeptical world.
