Story line: Santa Claus has too much work and needs help to get the children’s letters on their way. Wearing his Christmas mailman’s costume, Thomas Cadabra the Magician takes on the challenge. In spite of the many obstacles before him, Thomas perseveres and stays optimistic. Using a magic phone, Thomas manages to contact Santa Claus himself in order to fulfill special requests.
Some of the children become volunteers on stage, helping Thomas succeed with his magic tricks. Thomas’ work shift ends when clocks appear from thin air. Santa Claus expresses his gratitude for all the help. At the end of the show, the children hand in their letters to Thomas who will send them himself to the North Pole.
