Christmas Is Here Again is a fun animated Christmas movie from 2007. It's a musical comedy that went straight to video. Sometimes, it's also called Who Stole Santa's Sack?. This film was the first big movie made by Renegade Animation studio. It was directed and co-written by Robert Zappia.

The Story of a Missing Sack

The movie tells the exciting story of a young orphan girl named Sophiana. She uses a cane to help her walk. Sophiana goes on a big adventure to find Santa's magical toy sack. This special sack is the source of all toys! It was made from the baby Jesus' swaddling clothes, giving it its magic.

Why the Sack Was Stolen

Thirty years before the story begins, a character named Krad stole the sack. Krad's name is "dark" spelled backward. He took the sack because Santa stopped giving out Krad's coal to naughty children. Krad wanted revenge!

Sophiana's Quest

Sophiana doesn't go alone on her quest. She gets help from some amazing friends. Her team includes Paul Rocco, one of Santa's elves, and Dart, a young reindeer. They are also joined by Buster the fox and his friend, Charlee the polar bear. Together, they try to get Santa's sack back and save Christmas!
