Marty
... a Christmas Elf who's always up to something (usually pranks or grabbing as many sweets as he can!), and he’ll do ANYTHING to avoid hard work. As usual, his latest invention – a GENIUS Gadget to make everything taste like candy – causes total chaos for everyone in the North Pole, including a serious lack of pyjama elastic!
Lyra
... a super cool Elf and the North Pole’s computer whizz. After installing a brand new remote-control network of Night-Lights in Cranberry Cabin (as well as a “One-At-A-Time” Switch for safety), she designs a Special Sweet and Savoury Separating System to organise the North Pole Foodstores. She calls it the “Track All Snacks for a Terrific Yuletide”, or TASTY for short!
Lily... the most organised Elf in the North Pole. She makes sure the Elves get everything done in time for Christmas Eve. This year, her “Important List” includes instructions for the annual group photo for the Festive Christmas Card; many congratulations to the Elves who’ve been promoted to Assistant Reindeer Keeper, Sticky Situations Officer and Sparkle Captain; the recipe for an extra-powerful Magic Dust; and the rules for the next Snoring Competition.
J.D.... the North Pole’s Emergency Elf. She comes to the rescue whenever her Pocket Alarm-Tracker goes off (which is often!). This Christmas, she untangles Percy the mouse from Father Christmas’ beard (for the 896th time!), treats a headache by holding a warm Brussel sprout on an Elf’s ear for 15¾ minutes, and solves the problem of a worrying Magic Dust leakage … all with an Extra-Strong Christmas-tree-shaped Plaster and some Raspberry Ripple Elf-Reviving Remedy!
Stan... the Chief Miner in the Cinnamon Mine below Christmas Cabin. This year, he and his team of Mining Elves find themselves activating Operation Cinnamon Rescue – a rather scatterbrained Trainee Cinnamon Miner has gone missing along Passage #3 (for Scout Elves Only) and has been zapped into the Magical Gateway that leads to the human world! Thankfully Stan knows exactly what to do to save her.
Brain... asked to help with this year’s Christmas Cake. But, as usual, he gets in a terrible muddle and even thinks about adding dried Reindeer poop into the mix! Mother Christmas steps in to suggest he just helps with the decorating but the final result gets covered in crowns, Tarzan characters, a tatty old stocking and mini fire extinguishers! Luckily, everyone loves him so much, they always end up enjoying his interesting creations.
Dave The Stitch... spends his days in Pine Needle Lodge, designing Father Christmas' brand new Christmas Eve uniform! Each year he adds important extras to The Sleigh to ensure The Big Delivery goes as smoothly as possible. This Christmas, among other gadgets, he installs an Automatic Jingle-Bell polisher, a Reindeer Paarp Detector (with in-built face mask and fan), an Invisible Parking Badge (for busy areas where Father Christmas mustn't be seen) and a small pond (with frogs and a mini waterfall)!
