As the winter season settles in, prepare to join the audacious twelve-year-old Harper Sanson on a journey unlike any other. Harper, whose dreams of a sun-kissed California winter break are abruptly sidelined, finds herself navigating a snowy escapade in Connecticut in the peculiar company of her reclusive grandpa and an unlikely guardian angel who’s more “out of the box” than haloed. But the otherworldly surprises don’t end there. Joining Harper’s entourage are a few magical beings, each with their own quirky charm, guiding her through this inter-dimensional journey.

Soon, Harper’s world transforms into a heartwarming, magical reimagining of A Christmas Carol. With Harper in the starring role, the narrative leads us through time-traveling adventures across the past, present, and future, unraveling family tales and secrets along the way.

Our spirited protagonist explores her grandparents’ past in 1961, revisits the present as a spectral observer in her estranged dad’s Texas life, and even time-hops into the future to witness the trials and tribulations of adulthood. Along the way, Harper learns one of life’s great lessons: don’t ever judge your grandfather by his green socks and yellow beanie hat!

“Unwrap the joy of past, present, and future this holiday season.”

Harper’s journey is filled with heartfelt discoveries, joyous laughter, and life-changing insights. Once Upon a Winter’s Break™ is a fun, adventurous romp and a poignant exploration of the values of family, understanding, and compassion.
