The Magic Snowflake (original French title L'Apprenti Père Noël et le flocon magique) is a 2013 animated Christmas adventure comedy film and a sequel to the 2010 animated film Santa's Apprentice based on the television series SantApprentice created by Jan Van Rijsselberge.
[1] The movie opens where a little boy writes a letter to Santa Claus that he wants a remote control flying bug and mails it to the North Pole.
At the North Pole, an Inuk (Eskimo) boy named Tim-Tim picks up the mail to deliver it to Santa's Workshop.
Beatrice Lovejoy, Santa's wife, picks up the mail, but she won't allow Tim-Tim to take a peek inside.
After Santa and Mrs. Lovejoy leave, Nicholas takes over the workshop and receives a letter from the little boy who wanted a remote control flying bug.
He attempts making a remote control flying bug, which turns out to be a fiery bee and causes it to damage the workshop a bit as the elves stopped it.
Santa returns and takes Nicholas to the basement to find that the magic snowflake was melted.
Back at the advent calendar, Nicholas shows Santa a hamster with the number 7 and says that it is the next door to enter.
So Nicholas and Rufus go to bear mountain on their own to find door 3 as Santa returns to Daffodil Orphanage.
Nicholas runs and slides down the snow and his beard is starting to fade away as the magic snowflake is restored, and the spirit fairies fly to bear mountain.
Then, Nicholas unlocks the door to the toy production room with his pencil as a lock pick and explains everything to Santa.
When Nicholas sees Victorian Santa, he convinces him to change his ways and makes him turn around back to the workshop.
Eventually, Nicholas is revived with the butterfly wings that he made for the child who wrote the letter at the start of the movie, and the sleigh returns to the workshop.
Nicholas, Beatrice, Humphrey, and Santa convert the bricks back into toys only to find that there are 2 hours left to make the Christmas delivery around the world.
[5] The Magic Snowflake was released on DVD in the United States on 1 November 2016 as a double feature with Santa's Apprentice.
