Episode 1/29: Waiting patiently for Santa to set upon his next stop in his nightly rounds, Holly is hopeful that she can get some time to practice her new flying skills. Her BFF Velvet said that her new red scarf should put some lift under her and let her fly farther than ever before. BTS is a little skeptical, but hanging out in the sled with Santa is always fun, because Santa's pockets are always full of little sweeties that he shares!

Episode 2/29: What a racket! Have you ever heard a herd of Reindeer snore? Why Holly thinks she needs to remind BTS that they need to be quiet is rather silly, as anyone could set off a Christmas Cracker and not stir them!
Giddy with excitement, Holly thinks she is going to be the next new flier, and needs to get her practices in. So Holly coerces BTS to help her hitch up the sleigh. Then BTS hops in and pulls the extra comfy blanket up, to hide from Holly. Holly wouldn't be quite as excited to learn of the extra weight of her stowaway!

BTS is questing!
Episode 3/29: BTS settled in nice and cozy, only to fall completely asleep, although Holly thinks the buzz saw snoring she hears is just the echo from the other reindeer below.
Holly sprints stealthily through the snow, gathering the speed she needs for lift off, and closing her eyes and wishing upon her new scarlet scarf, leaps high into the air!
We have lift off!

Episode 4/29: With a long winter stretch BTS wakes up and takes in the surroundings, wondering how long Holly has been working on her flying skills, when BTS suddenly realizes that star orb night thing with electrical currents flying about is where Holly is flying them! A bit of a panic is settling in so in sheer desperation BTS calls out to Holly, who is startled to find BTS there in the first place, as she careens them closer to the mysterious purple haze!
Calling back to BTS, Holly tells BTS that it's all under control, that Santa will be here soon to help them fight this orb and safely land back at the North Pole. BTS is rather not convinced and soon shouts HELP at the top of BTS's lungs!

Episode 5/29: Well boy howdy, thinks Holly, this isn't good. Not good at all! BTS isn't exactly excited about this either!
With a sudden stop and a falling drop, the sleigh spiraled straight into one of the many lakes littering the landscape. Holly, scrambling to sit on the top of the bobbing sled, takes a look around, finding little fat tuxedo birds slipping through the snow banks for a closer look at the U.F.S. (unidentified flying sled) that is now in their back yard.
BTS is wide awake, and on extreme alert, cowering behind the snowbank, wondering where in the world they landed!

Episode 6/29: BTS and Holly had decided that Santa needed to be contacted, although neither one of them is anxious to explain the whole borrowed the sleigh adventure! Holly suggested that maybe the best way to get in touch with Santa would be to break out in song, so BTS hummed a middle C.
They are feeling a little disappointed that it's just BTS and Holly singing when, with a big pop and a wafting smell in the air of baking cookies, Holly notices that they are no longer alone! There's one brave little tux bird still hanging near, and two strange little people with a handful of drinks and cookies!
BTS doesn't know about Holly, but BTS thinks that a pawful of cookies and a belly full of warm toddy is a welcome sight, and hopes the little creatures share!
As BTS's belly rumbles, the little white creature yells out HI THERE! WELCOME TO THE SOUTH POLE! WE'RE LITTLE CHEERLINGS! WE'RE GLAD YOU'RE HERE! COME JOIN US FOR COOKIES AND COCOA!
BTS never turns down cookies!

Episode 7/29: The little reindeer Holly's tales about Santa and about Christmas have gotten the cheerlings thinking... They wonder if it might be possible to bring Christmas to the South Pole? And they begin to imagine what preparations they could make? For Holly is adamant that those who don't believe, won't receive!
The cheerlings have had plenty of time to explore the South Pole, especially the old abandoned research stations and weather stations, so the little white cheerling starts thinking about using the contents of some old boxes and crates they found stashed away in the back of a dusty old closet...

BTS is questing!
Episode 8/29: Come see what I found, yelled the little yellow cheerling! A splash of color dangled from the mitten, and BTS wondered if the absence of color here in the South Pole overall made it so much brighter?
Holly was jumping for joy, as that shimmery little bulb matched her new scarf.
Bob, the little penguin, wondered if there were some more about, and thought it might be fun, like a game of PIRATES who lived in the warm Caribbean looking for buried treasure!
Holly explained to the cheerlings and Bob that these ornaments can be put on a Christmas tree, and wouldn't it be nice to collect them up!
In his very best pirate imitation Bob cried out Ahoy! Matey, hoist the Jolly Roger, and walk the plank you scurvy lad!
BTS started laughing and fell down. Obviously Bob's enthusiasm was infectious, if not correct...

BTS is questing!
Episode 9/29: Bob, who has a bit of a competitive spirit, grabs up another ornament, which was near the abandoned weather station. He guessed that the hoomans who were here at one point must have left them here. After the big first find, the little yellow cheerling needed a nap, and cozied up on the ornament, while the rest of the gang dug around looking for buried treasure. Bob, still fancying himself as a pirate, tries to use his ornament like a cannonball!

Episode 10/29: BTS and Holly are enjoying the treasure hunt, albeit without proper pirate garb! They have uncovered a variety of ornaments. Bob, however, uses his ornaments as balance while he walks the plank.

BTS is questing!
Episode 11/29: BTS is convinced they have uncovered all they are going to here at the weather station. BTS asks the friends to pose with the booty, and snaps a group selfie. Bob's rather disappointed, as he rather enjoyed playing pirate! Maybe one day he'll travel to the warm Caribbean?
Holly really digs the new look of antler ornaments and wonders if her mum will allow her to wear them all the time, or if, yet again, she'll be told when you get older!

BTS is questing!
Episode 12/29: Holly and the little waddler, Bob are excited to find a random pile of dress ups laying in the South Pole snow. BTS picks up a piece of costume and quickly realizes that it's a Santa suit!
The cheerlings, mentioning they haven't really seen Santa, are excited to play with the pieces and put the puzzle together.

BTS is questing!
Episode 13/29: Holly grabs up a few pieces and hands them out just to see what the little cheerlings and Bob will do with the costume. Not wanting to stifle their creativity, BTS lets the gang have some fun, and notices that the little yellow cheerling decided the best way to enjoy the costume was by taking a nap!

BTS is questing!
Episode 14/29: Bob notices his friend Mary over across the ice floe, and waves her over to come play with dress up with the group. Holly and the Cheerlings are excited to meet someone new, but BTS stands back and thinks that Mary is one big animal and hopes she's a vegetarian!

BTS is questing!
Episode 15/29: Mary, a fun old soul, grabbed up the bits of the Santa suit and donned them, much to the enjoyment of the little friend group. She laughed a deep belly laugh at the thought of BTS being afraid of her, as she really isn't a vegetarian, but one doesn't eat her friends!

BTS is questing!
Episode 16/29: While Holly and the little cheerlings were playing in the South Pole snow, the little waddler, Bob as he is known to his friends, chucks a snowball over at BTS!
BTS ducked out quickly, and the cheerlings are giggling, along with Holly at the fun of exploring the snow on the South Pole.

BTS is questing!
Episode 17/29: Snow ball fights require snow forts, of course, so Holly hunkered down into the snow, she's played this game quite a few times, being a reindeer and all. Grabbing up BTS to be her partner, she's impressed with BTS's aim, as poor Bob has fallen down! The little cheerlings are busily trying to get their fort built and stay out of the snowball line of fire!

BTS is questing!
Episode 18/29: While prancing around in her snow fort with BTS, Holly bumped into something, and being a curious little reindeer, called to Bob and the cheerlings to come help her see what she'd found!
Whatever it was buried in the snow, was well pretty stuck down there, but stubborn determination on the part of Holly will get it out! The little white cheerling quickly sets up chanting PULL! PULL! PULL! and BTS wonders if the little cheerling was a coxswain in another life?

BTS is questing!
Episode 19/29: Springing forth with one final PULL!, the most wonderous tree appeared in the mist of the little group of friends. BTS is a card carrying member of the Tree Lovers of the World and can't wait to figure out how to load it up in Santa's sleigh when he arrives and take it home!
It didn't match Holly's story of a traditional Christmas tree, but BTS explained that if you didn't have Christmas in your heart, you would never find it under a tree.

Episode 20/29: Being young (and sometimes old!) requires a nap or two and BTS joined in the rest of the pals for a short one.
While they were resting their eyes, the little yellow cheerling discovered hiding behind the snowbank a brightly decorated box, and shaking it produced the most satisfying rattle!
Holly is very excited to see the box, and explains the gift giving tradition of Christmas to the cheerlings and the little penguin, Bob.
Bob loves the idea of giving away things, except maybe his fishies, and wanders off to search for more!

BTS is questing!
Episode 21/29: While BTS and the cheerlings are gathering up more gifts, Holly and Bob caught another nap, and BTS wonders if perhaps there's a wicked witch about sprinkling a magical sleeping potion around? Wait, no, that isn't right, the snow woke everyone up in that story. Hmm, maybe it's a lack of good food? BTS can feel a rumble growing in the belly and wonders if they are going to have to eat the fishies that Bob is always talking about?

BTS is questing!
Episode 22/29: Bob and the cheerlings want to know more about these gifts they are collecting, and Holly is happy to pass along the meaning. After sitting with Santa for so many days, and learning about them she shares.
A gift is something you give in your heart! Sometimes that gift is an actual thing, such as a new pair of roller skates! Or a new game, oh those possibilities are endless! Santa and his elves at the North Pole work year round getting those gifts ready for everypet in the world. The other kind of gift is the gift of time and love. When you gift those things away, not only does the pet you give it to enjoy it, but your heart grows bigger.
BTS thought Holly did a great job explaining it and hopes the their new friends understood it too. Now, if Santa would bring the gift of his sleigh to them soon, that wouldn't be too bad either.

BTS is questing!
Episode 23/29: Bob stacked the gifts neatly in a pile, climbing on, and thinking about jumping on Holly and seeing about a quick flight around the South Pole, but something in the way BTS is looking at him makes him think twice. The new friends have gathered a bunch of gifts to give away, now to find more friends to give them to!

BTS is questing!
Episode 24/29: Well, Mary! Look at that! BTS and Holly were so excited to take all the collections they found and assemble them together all in one spot. Mary and her Santa costume are the final touch to the Christmas celebration being held here at the South Pole.

Episode 25/29: Holly and her new friends all gather near the old research station, and BTS tells them one last story of Christmas. The Nativity... about immigrants in a foreign land... about a birth heralded by angels on high.. and a baby who came to save the world.
After hearing the story, the little white cheerling climbed into the old manger, trying to see just how comfortable that baby would have been in that humble bed. And promptly fell asleep!

BTS is questing!
Episode 26/29: Holly jumps around the snow, trying to stay awake as her friends have all taken a moment out of the Christmas festivities to take a nap. Holly starts to sing her favorite songs, traditionally sung by everypet at Christmas time. However, Holly smiles at the thought of those crazy ones who listen all year long. And really, Holly asked BTS, who was waking up, shouldn't Christmas be a yearlong way to live? Sharing LOVE, sharing JOY and GIVING of your time and HELPING those who need it? BTS nodded groggily, then promptly dozed back off to sleep!

BTS is questing!
Episode 27/29: Holly has seen Santa many times in her young years, but never before this moment was she so happy to see Santa as she is now!
Santa is pleased to see the little group of friends have brought the Christmas spirit here together, not only in the South Pole but in their hearts to share. Santa checks his list and sees that BTS, who was a skeptic before getting stranded here with Holly has moved from the naughty list to the nice list. Asking BTS about the change of heart, he listens as BTS tells all about the adventures and how Holly shared the joy of the holiday with their new friends. Santa is quite impressed that Holly has been listening and wonders if he underestimated whether Holly was ready to be a part of the Official Sleigh Team.
And Santa brought his magic sack and handed out special gifts to each of the little group.

Episode 28/29: While the little reindeer and the cheerlings were sound asleep, Santa had created a special Christmas present for the cheerlings! A magnificent ice palace, where the cheerlings could store all of their Christmas decorations and make gifts for all of their South Pole friends for many Christmases to come!

BTS looked on in awe, secretly wishing they had an ice palace of their very own, to use in their PnF Art!

And so it came to pass that wise old Santa already knew that BTS had been a good little pet all year long, and Santa had had a busy night creating not just one, but two ice palaces, so Santa was able to grant BTS's secret Christmas wish on the spot, by gifting BTS an ice palace of their very own!

Episode 29/29: Having distributed his sack of gifts, bid farewell to BTS, and left the Cheerlings to settle into their new home, Santa hitched up his team of reindeer, and took to the skies... closely followed by his errant little Holly, pulling the newly repaired practice sleigh that Santa needed for training the younger reindeer.
As the visitors pulled away from the South Pole, and its perpetual Summer sunlight, night began to fall, filling the sky with stars, and revealing the Northern Twilight Orb in all its splendour, to guide Santa home...
And as Santa disappeared into the sky, BTS heard the faint echo of Santa's voice bouncing off the ice:

Ho Ho Ho, and Merry Christmas one and all! And BTS, don't forget to race on home to swap places with another pet, as I'm sure that another one of my young reindeer will need help too!
