On the night before Christmas at the North Pole, the elves are all starving and Santa is famished. But when a tuft of white fur blows into Ella the Elf's gingerbread batter, out of the oven crashes a not-so-tasty (and somewhat hairy) surprise! The Gingerbread Yeti is towering, frightening... and on the loose.

But as Ella, the elves, and the reindeer are chased by the abominable doughman, the young baker begins to wonder what the Yeti truly wants for Christmas. After all, there's no sweeter gift than celebrating the holidays with family.

Perfect for fans of Santa Jaws and Tough Cookie.
