Deep in the snowy pines of the Northern Glades live Bjorn Mooseltoe and Freya Twinklestar, gentle moose gnomes with hearts as warm as woollen mittens. Every winter, they can be found nestled in their pinecone cottage beside a crackling fire sipping hot chocolate with their woodland friends. Bjorn and Freya absolutely adore the holiday season, when they decorate their cottage with sprigs of mistletoe and twinkly Christmas stars. It’s said that anyone lucky enough to share a hug beneath Bjorn’s antlers will enjoy a year filled with warmth, laughter, and cozy happy moments!
