When a glowing snowflake lands on Nila’s sketchbook, the Explorers’ Treehouse shimmers and transforms into a sparkling snow globe , whisking them away to a charming Norwegian village preparing for the Santa Lucia Festival of Lights . But not everything is ready for the celebration — Lucia, the kind young girl leading the parade, has lost her candle crown! Without it, the festival can’t begin. Determined to help, Nila, Niko, and Tobi set out on a heartwarming mission to find it.
