[1][2] On the night before Christmas, the evil Angis McBragg, a villain with negative magic powers, and his elf henchman Doubting Thomas terrorize a village.
Attempting to dislodge Santa Claus from the North Pole, McBragg announces his plans to make children everywhere doubt their abilities and lose confidence.
Good Soul gives Orion and Orillia, two hoverboard-riding extraterrestrial "soulmates" from another planet, their first mission to save Christmas, and they travel to Earth.
At that moment, McBragg appears and kidnaps Orillia, and Orion and Comet find Santa and Truman in the park on a bench.
The Soulmates' Positivity Beam drifts from the workshop to Ella's house, where she is writing a letter to Santa about how she misses Truman.
Comet sends some pixie dust up to Good Soul, who in turn uses "Soulmate Energy" to snap Orillia out of her trance.
Truman realizes that the letter was from Ella, and Orion and Orillia tell him that he has guided Santa back to the North Pole with his now-improved eyesight.
The Soulmates in The Gift of Light was created, written, and produced by Canadian screenwriter, artist, editor and author Gabrielle St. George,[4][5] and directed by Chris Shouten.
The songs "Soulmates Theme" and "Don't Forget Me" were produced and arranged by Howard Ayee and Domenic Troiano, sung by Shawne Jackson and Joel Feeney,[8][9] and recorded and mixed by Bob Federer and Danny Sustar at Round Sound Studios.
The series would have followed the Soulmates' adventures as they helped marginalized humans and creatures who had lost faith in themselves, their dreams, and their hopes.
[7][10] In 2016, an image of the elf character Pops from the special playing on a television in a family photograph sparked a large online search for its origin.
It would not be until September 2022 after a new tweet by the original poster and a video by YouTuber Blameitonjorge that the special would be ultimately identified and found.
