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 Happy by surprise in the process!

When Happy 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.

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 Heleena.
Happy shook paws with Heleena the Fox’Maid (Ariilina) . 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 Matilda.
Happy shook paws with Matilda the Mother Wallaroo. 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 Chewbie.
Happy shook paws with Chewbie the Dauntless Dolphin. They both received one silver mole!
Although the tour group reaches Sunset Beach in perfect time for a spectacular sunset, the unaccustomed heat seems to have exhausted Happy, 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 Spirit.

The twins direct the team inland for an unscheduled stop at the Blue Lake, which looks decidedly pink in the early morning sunlight! Happy is fascinated to learn that this lake, nestled inside an extinct volcano, is believed to be bottomless. While Santa takes a quick bath, Happy 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 Allegra.

Happy 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 Snowball.
Happy shook paws with Snowball the Sparkling Snow Foxee. They both received one silver mole!
Hearing loud cheers from a neighbouring island, Happy 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 Pinky Tuscadero.
Happy shook paws with Pinky Tuscadero the Strawberry Milky Moo Cow. They both received one silver mole!
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 Happy! "No, Happy!" 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 Hearts.
Happy shook paws with Hearts the Strawberry Milky Moo Cow. They both received one silver mole!
Hearts gave you 3 "Holiday Gift Box (Daisy)" 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 Happy's singing resembles a wolf howling at a full moon!
While enjoying Christmas in the Tropics, you met Jack.
Happy shook paws with Jack the Blue Beautiful Unicorn. They both received one silver mole!
Jack and you found 5 "South American Ornament" size 4.
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 Bella.
Happy shook paws with Bella the Purple Cheerling. They both received one silver mole!

Happy shook paws with Minerva the Brown Owl. They both received one silver mole!
Santa gives Happy 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:
