Raised as an oversized elf, Buddy travels from the North Pole to New York City to meet his biological father, Walter Hobbs, who doesn’t know he exists and is in desperate need of some Christmas spirit. Buddy was a baby in an orphanage who stowed away in Santa’s sack and ended up at the North Pole. Later, as an adult who happened to be raised by elves, Santa allows him to go to New York City to find his birth father, Walter Hobbs. He, who is on Santa’s naughty list for being a heartless jerk, had no idea that Buddy was even born. Buddy, meanwhile, experiences the delights of New York City (and human culture) as only an elf can. When Walter’s relationship with him interferes with his job, he is forced to reevaluate his priorities.

Three performers on stage interact with two large puppets. A man in black operates a puppet of a boy in a blue coat, while a woman in a suit and bow tie with a fun hat shaped like an antenna operates a puppet of a girl in a blue dress. Between them, a woman in a bright red dress holds up a shiny silver heart, smiling as the puppets reach toward it. A clock showing nearly midnight and candy canes decorate the background.
