A heartwarming Christmas fantasy about a magical squirrel who rescues a struggling family, built entirely on warmth, whimsy, and the spirit of seasonal generosity.
Shortly before Christmas, a family moves into an apartment where Rupert the squirrel lives in the attic rafters. Just as it seems that the holiday will come and go without so much as a Christmas tree, Rupert acts as the family's guardian angel - not only saving Christmas, but changing their lives forever.
