But nobody told you how it actually started, and spoiler alert: it's way more intense than your childhood Christmas specials led you to believe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo there's Nicholas Santa (yeah, that's his real name). He disappears with his family during an expedition to the North Pole. Because nothing says quality family time like hiking to the most inhospitable place on Earth in the 19th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen a storm hits, Nicholas gets separated from his wife Jessica and son Jon, plus everything he understood about reality. Beneath the ice lives an ancient race of elves who've been playing hide-and-seek since the Ice Age. Short, stout, and equipped with technology that makes modern smartphones look like stone tablets, they've maintained a peaceful existence until now.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnter Jack.
