STEP INSIDE THE STORY

WELCOME TO CHRISTMAS EVE

All through the house,
someone is up to something.

The tree is decorated. The presents are wrapped. But to the pets, the festivities are only just beginning.

Across fifteen connected holiday adventures, familiar family traditions become unexpected moments of laughter, friendship, and affection. Each chapter gives a different pet the spotlight—and brings the whole house a little closer together.

THE EVENING’S UNOFFICIAL PLANS

A little mischief.
A lot of personality.

01 / THE TREE

Challenge accepted.

Whiskers believes the Christmas tree is a personal challenge. Nibble has a garland maze to navigate. Decorations were never going to stay just decorations.

02 / THE KITCHEN & BEYOND

Opportunity is in the air.

Rover and Bella follow the promising smells from the kitchen, while Polly has a concert to perform. Everyone has a part to play.

03 / UNDER THE TREE

The wrapping is half the fun.

Hammy turns the presents into a hide-and-seek arena. Floppy claims the wrapping paper. Even the simplest traditions take an unexpected turn.

THE MAGIC BETWEEN THE MISHAPS

Different pets.
One place to belong.

Furry, feathered, finned, and scaly: every resident finds a way to join in. Beneath the holiday chaos is the affection that makes this house a home.

FOR YOUNG ANIMAL LOVERS
& THEIR FAMILIES
