One Santa. One robot. One overdue delivery of cold Christmas justice...
All throughout Moonshine Mall, shelves are empty of the year's most sought-after toy — the Sheepy McFinnigan action figure.
Santa's elves are run off their feet trying to meet demand.
Jolly old Saint Nick himself is even busier... so busy that a Robot Santa has to stand in at Moonshine Mall's famous grotto.
Even worse, the mall's new manager Nancy Collins is sucking the fun out of everything.
Robot Santa is the only thing keeping the kids smiling amid the Sheepy McFinnigan stock shortage, but Nancy has her own selfish reason for putting him in place.
But what Nancy Collins doesn't know is that just like the real thing, Robot Santa is always watching.
For naughty children, Santa delivers a lump of coal.
But for selfish and greedy grown-ups, Robot Santa delivers a whole lot more...
