Finished homing all the animals before Christmas, Jack has decided to go to Prince Edward Island in Canada for the Jack Frost Festival. And, wherever Jack goes, adventure surely follows.

He loves to play with children in their snow forts and run at top speed plunging into snowmen. He loves to chase Snowflake the white Persian cat that lives in his house. But the thing he loves most of all is sitting outside the window of a small farmhouse during the holidays listening to a little girl inside play her guitar.

During the lights, the snow, and the music, Jack faces a difficult decision; does he ask Santa for the one wish in his heart? Or does he choose to continue to spend his life spreading joy and laughter as Jack Frost?
