Return to the beloved world of A Christmas Carol in a new story inspired by Dickens’ classic.

Thirteen Christmases have passed since Ebenezer Scrooge awoke a changed man. But for Bob Cratchit and his family, that wasn’t the end of the story.

The Cratchit children are grown. They have responsibilities, heartbreaks, dreams—and struggles of their own. The once tight-knit family that gathered around a humble Christmas dinner is now in danger of coming apart.

But Christmas is a time of miracles. Thirteen years ago, the Spirits came to save a miser. Now they’ve returned—to save a family.

Reunite with Ebenezer Scrooge, Bob Cratchit, Tiny Tim, and other familiar faces in a moving new Christmas story of love, sacrifice, forgiveness, and hope.
