Time is of the essence. Pingu - your best friend who, oddly enough, happens to be a penguin – just finished reading his TV guide. According to these utterly professional sources, Christmas must be saved by 8:00 PM… Hot on the holiday tracks of this mistletoe mystery, our Elf must uncover the squalid truth behind this well-beloved institution. But beware...if anything goes wrong Santa might change his sleighing ways to slaying ways.(Storyline via IGDB)
