Each holiday season, FFAE proudly continues one of its most cherished traditions: The Biggest Gift.
When Santa realizes he hasn't received a single letter from children anywhere in the world, the spirit of Christmas begins to fade. Without the wishes, hopes, and dreams that usually fill the North Pole, Santa feels heartbroken and the magic of the season seems lost.
Determined to bring Christmas back, Santa's loyal head elf, Tucker, gathers a group of adventurous toys, and with the help of Rudolph, sets off on a magical journey to discover what happened to the missing letters and restore the spirit of the holiday.
Filled with humor, heart, and holiday magic, The Biggest Gift reminds audiences that the true spirit of Christmas comes from kindness, hope, and believing in something bigger than ourselves.
For many families, attending The Biggest Gift has become a beloved holiday tradition. Year after year, audiences return to share in the magic, laughter, and warmth of a story that reminds us that some traditions are meant to stay the same, and that the greatest gift of all is the joy we share together.
This performance is a School Matinee intended for student groups of 10 or more, but all guests are welcome to attend. To view non‑student matinee performance times, click here.
