Yuletide (2025-)

The town of Christmas, Pennsylvania maintains its annual facade of perfect cheer, its streets a blinding spectacle of lights and plastic reindeer. Beneath the forced merriment, local teens Jake, Abe, and Wyn are drawn to the holiday’s older, colder roots. Their investigation into forgotten pagan legends leads them to a sealed wing of the local museum. There, they disturb an ancient relic not meant to be found. Its activation does not bring gifts, but a procession of long-banished entities. The festive lights now flicker against a different kind of darkness, one that has waited in the silent cold for its return. The town’s decorations are suddenly very small.
