Lapland's Enchanting Christmas Adventure: Elves, Magic, and Sisterly Love

As the television industry continues to evolve, the upcoming Mipcom 2025 event is set to be a pivotal moment, with the rise of YouTube and the creator economy reshaping the landscape. In the midst of this shifting landscape, filmmakers Joonas Berghäll and Hannes Vartiainen have unveiled the first trailer for their upcoming fantasy live-action family adventure, "The Elf and the Christmas Wonder."

Described as a "heartwarming holiday tale of courage, magic and sisterly love set against the enchanting backdrop of Lapland," the film follows the story of Lumi, a young girl determined to reunite with her adopted soul sister, Talvi. After Talvi is adopted, leaving Lumi behind in their snowy orphanage, Lumi sets off into the frozen wilderness, only to stumble upon a secret world hidden beneath the snow: a bustling Christmas factory run by elves.

With the help of Pyry, a rule-breaking elf with a big heart, Lumi embarks on a Christmas Eve mission aboard Santa's sleigh. Global Constellation is handling the international sales for the film, and has announced a slate of distribution partners, including Scanbox Entertainment for theatrical release across Scandinavia in November 2025, and Wild Bunch for distribution in German-speaking territories. Additional deals have been secured with World Pictures for the CIS region, Karantajina for the former Yugoslavia, and Front Row for the Middle East and North Africa.

"The Elf and the Christmas Wonder" is the latest family adventure title on the Global Constellation slate, joining CG-animated features "Charlie the Wonderdog" and "The Last Whale Singer," both of which are now ready for delivery and gearing up for theatrical releases early next year.
