When young Buddy falls into Santa's gift sack on Christmas Eve, he's transported back to the North Pole and raised as a toy-making elf by Santa's helpers. But as he grows into adulthood, he can't shake the nagging feeling that he doesn't belong.

Buddy vows to visit Manhattan and find his real dad, a workaholic publisher.

Make Room

All proceeds from ticket sales and additional donations will go to Make Room and help those who need it most. Lord Mayor’s Charitable Foundation (ABN 63 635 798 473) is supporting public fundraising for Make Room by providing tax deductible receipts for all donations.

Make Room involves converting a Council owned building to deliver 50 studio apartments, housing and homelessness services, and other support. Residents will stay for up to 12 months, or until they are connected with long-term housing. Our Good Giving campaign this festive season is raising funds to complete a dedicated floor for women, who are the fastest-growing group of people experiencing homelessness in our city.
