Blended with the power of myth, “Willie-Off-The-Pickleboat” taps into to a few predecessors of Santa Claus to deliver a rich Christmas adventure.

Dutch “Belschnikel” (who doles out gifts and punishment to children good and bad respectively) to tell a timely holiday story. “Willie,” a benevolent, but mischievous character, is also drawn from myth, inspired by Charon, ferryman of Hades in Greek mythology.
Discover how the spirit of Christmas can be stolen and saved. One pickle. One boat. And one wish.
