This enchanting documentary takes us to the stunning Scottish Highlands to a community of dedicated herders who live alongside the reindeer.
As we follow a group of young reindeer preparing for their first-ever Christmas, we will meet a host of appealing characters from an orphaned reindeer calf to young reindeer learning to pull the Christmas sleigh for the first time.
We get to know these endlessly fascinating animals – as well as showing the painstaking logistics and planning in the run-up to one of the most wonderful times of the year.
