It's Christmas time at the Ypsilanti Zoo, and everyone there eagerly anticipates the birth of Bella, the zoo's first baby hippo.

Then the unexpected happens, and only one person can prevent tragedy. Will Santa arrive in time to save Bella—and Christmas? A heartwarming musical adventure for the whole family.
