Buford Saves Christmas

Being Santa’s right-hand elf is a demanding job, but it’s one Buford was born to do. He knows Christmas success hinges on one thing: his yearly pre-sleigh-launch good deed. This year, though, he's not having any luck finding a deed that needs doing.

Santa's son Michael works at the mall while he studies business and Zach, the cute cashier he manages. But Zach doesn't seem to even notice Michael, making Christmas less bright than it could be.

Buford decides matchmaking is the perfect good deed to ensure Santa’s flight goes off without a hitch. Can he get Michael and Zach together and save Christmas?
