Caught up in a supercell squall line, Santa and his son Banta and pet reindeer Canta are snatched from the North Pole in a Polar Vortex and deposited unceremoniously down under. Transitioning, without warning, from 0 °F to 100 °F, and catching Christy by surprise in the process!
While enjoying Christmas in the Tropics, you met Angel.
Christy shook paws with Angel the Grey Playful Kitten. They both received one silver mole!
Angel gave you 1 "Sugar Plum Fairy (Running)" size 7
When Christy asks Banta to explain who they are and where they have come from, the twin cookies Davo and Macca wander over to take a gander. Banta, like most young Cheerlings, still believes in magic, and says he was daydreaming about seeing sunlight during a big storm, and suddenly here they were...! But where, exactly, IS here?
While enjoying Christmas in the Tropics, you met moo moo.
Christy shook paws with moo moo the Vanilla Milky Moo Cow. They both received one silver mole!
moo moo gave you 1 "Tie me up with a Red Bow Shortbread Cat" size 10
When the twins discover that this IS the real Santa, who is a long way from home and quite inappropriately dressed for the tropical climate down under, they raid their father's wardrobe to provide Santa with their father's favourite garishly colourful holiday Harry outfit, of boardies, a singlet and a pair of pluggers (aka flipflops). So while Santa is slipping into something more comfortable (or is that sipping into something more comfortable?), the twins offer Banta some of their own summer clothing, but Banta declines, because he is VERY attached to his own red suit, which is actually his fur, and not removable clothing!
While enjoying Christmas in the Tropics, you met Pookey.
Christy shook paws with Pookey the Brown Lovable Labrador. They both received one silver mole!
Canta volunteers to look after the sleigh, which is stowed in the twins' father's barn, while Boomer Kangaroo and Jack Donkey, who are more accustomed to the sweltering heat, help the twins to take Santa and Banta on a once in a lifetime tour of the tropics, complete with a wagon load of Chrissie pressies to deliver en route.
While enjoying Christmas in the Tropics, you met Foxy.
Christy shook paws with Foxy the Arctic Feisty Fox. They both received one silver mole!
The tour group's first port of call is the aptly named Flamingo Island, where Boomer's mob resides. Kangaroos have excellent hearing, so it is no surprise that Boomer's cousins hear on the grapevine that Santa is coming, giving them plenty of time to put out their Christmas lights!
While enjoying Christmas in the Tropics, you met lily.
Christy shook paws with lily the Green Rapid Dragonfly. They both received one silver mole!
lily gave you 3 "Holiday Gift Box (Currant)" size 7

While enjoying Christmas in the Tropics, you met Sugie.
Christy shook paws with Sugie the Ragdoll Kitten. They both received one silver mole!
The next port of call for our tour group is Thong Beach! There is a Thong Beach on every planet. A special place where the Trade Winds and Prevailing Currents wash all of the lost thongs (aka flipflops) ashore, and the locals use said thongs to decorate their Christmas Tree!
While enjoying Christmas in the Tropics, you met grey.
Christy shook paws with grey the Ragdoll Kitten. They both received one silver mole!

While Boomer and Jack pull the cartload of gifts from Thong Beach to Castaway Island, Christy, Santa, Banta and the Twins decide to take a dip, swimming from one beach to the next, using Wilson brand beach balls as floatation devices!
While enjoying Christmas in the Tropics, you met Arty.
Christy shook paws with Arty the Black Feisty Fox. They both received one silver mole!
Arty and you found 5 "Christmas Cactus 2020 (Lights)" size 4.
Although the tour group reaches Sunset Beach in perfect time for a spectacular sunset, the unaccustomed heat seems to have exhausted Christy, Santa and Banta, who stretch out on the beach to sleep. Having missed their own afternoon siestas, the twins, Boomer and Jack are only too happy to join them, while a family of local bandicoots raids the cartload of pressies...
While enjoying Christmas in the Tropics, you met Ivory.
Christy shook paws with Ivory the Leopard gecko. They both received one silver mole!
Ivory gave you 3 "Ugly T-Shirt Shortbread Pup in Blue" size 7
As the sun rises over the horizon, the twins lead their tour group to Shark Bay. Knowing how much Santa likes cookies, they plan to catch some gingerbread fish for his breakfast!
While enjoying Christmas in the Tropics, you met Roxie.
Christy shook paws with Roxie the Fennec Fox. They both received one silver mole!
The twins direct the team inland for an unscheduled stop at the Blue Lake, which looks decidedly pink in the early morning sunlight! Christy is fascinated to learn that this lake, nestled inside an extinct volcano, is believed to be bottomless. While Santa takes a quick bath, Christy helps Boomer and Jack to load all of Santa's pressies into a row boat, to transport them across the lake.
While enjoying Christmas in the Tropics, you met Jose.
Christy shook paws with Jose the Tapir. They both received one silver mole!
The next port of call for the team is Paradise Island, where Santa hires a bungalow for the team to relax and take a load off for a few hours, before delivering gifts to the local chicks and bucks.

Christy shook paws with Godiva the Giraffe. They both received one silver mole!
Godiva gave you 3 "Holiday Gift Box (Cranberry)" size 7
Christy and the tour group take a stroll around Paradise Island, finding what would have been an idyllic deserted beach, if the prevailing currents hadn't washed ashore so much hooman ocean and beach debris! Unable to leave any beach in this condition, the pets set about restoring it to its pre-hooman pristine state!
While enjoying Christmas in the Tropics, you met Owlivander.
Christy shook paws with Owlivander the Screech Owl. They both received one silver mole!
Hearing loud cheers from a neighbouring island, Christy wants to investigate, hoping that it's the annual cane toad races! Wouldn't that really be something for Santa and Banta to tell Mrs Santa about?
While enjoying Christmas in the Tropics, you met Flutter.
Christy shook paws with Flutter the Majestic Monarch Butterfly. They both received one silver mole!
Flutter and you found 5 "Christmas Cactus 2020 (Snowy)" size 4.
The tour group enters Santa's cartload of toys in the annual pageant, waving happily to the cheering spectators, and giving out the occasional pressie while they are at it. However the twins are a wake up to Christy! "No, Christy!" They admonish, "We know you are not really a spectator, so you won't be getting another pressie just yet!"
While enjoying Christmas in the Tropics, you met Milagros.
Christy shook paws with Milagros the Angel Wing Butterfly. They both received one silver mole!
Milagros gave you 3 "Beary Blue T-Shirt Shortbread Bear" size 7
When the tour group reaches the bandstand, the emcee quickly pulls them all up onto the stage. She thrusts music books into their paws, imploring them to lead the singing for Carols by Candlelight! Fortunately most of the spectators are tone deaf, so they won't be too terribly offended if Christy's singing resembles a wolf howling at a full moon!
While enjoying Christmas in the Tropics, you met Hansi (Icky Bird Who Can't Fly).
Christy shook paws with Hansi (Icky Bird Who Can't Fly) the Playful Penguin. They both received one silver mole!
Hansi (Icky Bird Who Can't Fly) and you found 10 Copper Trolls!
All that wonderful singing clearly inspired our intrepid tour group, who floated along on their success to the Opera House where they could immerse themselves in world class petformances of all of the classics! But the petformance is interrupted by an urgent announcement, warning all pets to take shelter inland, because Tropical Cyclone Scaredy, forming off the coast, is likely to sweep up everything in its path!
While enjoying Christmas in the Tropics, you met Smoki.
Christy shook paws with Smoki the Grey Playful Kitten. They both received one silver mole!
Smoki and you found 5 "Christmas Cactus 2020 (Lights)" size 4.
So the tour group hurries ashore, heading inland, to ensure Canta and the sleigh are battened down and safe from Tropical Cyclone Scaredy. And so begins a great race across the country, tour group vs Tropical Cyclone Scaredy, but who will get there first?
While enjoying Christmas in the Tropics, you met Otto.
Christy shook paws with Otto the Red Feisty Fox. They both received one silver mole!
Otto gave you 3 "Beary Blue T-Shirt Shortbread Bear" size 7

While enjoying Christmas in the Tropics, you met Hero.
Christy shook paws with Hero the Arctic Feisty Fox. They both received one silver mole!
Santa grabs up his presents and points to Tropical Cyclone Scaredy, wondering if TCS might be the local equivalent of a Polar Vortex, capable of picking up the whole tour group and whisking them across the seas to the North Pole?
While enjoying Christmas in the Tropics, you met frisky.
Christy shook paws with frisky the Grey Playful Kitten. They both received one silver mole!
Santa gives Christy a sock of gold to finish distributing pressies to the local pets. And with a cheerful wave and hearty "Ho Ho Ho" Santa leaps into the eye of the cyclone, sbouting back:
CHANGE PETS N-O-W!
Christy has completed the quest! Please select another pet as visitor, so it can also take part!
While enjoying Christmas in the Tropics, you met Starburst.
