Christmas Card Crisis[]
Kirsty is staying with Rachel for a few days until Christmas Eve and the girls leave the house and walk through the snow to post some Christmas cards. As Rachel puts the cards into the postbox, a green hand snatches them and the girls can hear them being opened. They realise a goblin must be inside and ask him what he’s doing.
He tells them he’s looking for Chrissie the Wish Fairy’s magic card, but the girls haven’t heard of this fairy. As they leave to get some mince pies to lure the goblin out, the aforementioned fairy floats down on a snowflake and introduces herself.
Chrissie explains that she usually hides her magic objects in the human world but Jack Frost has sent the goblins to steal them. The girls tell Chrissie about the goblin in the postbox but before they can do anything about it, a yell of glee comes from the inside - the goblin must’ve found the card.
Anyone who is holding any of her objects can make a wish and the goblin transforms the postbox into a cosy sleigh to take him back to Jack Frost, but nothing to pull it... Just when the girls think he's extremely stupid, he makes another wish for a reindeer to pull the sleigh and he speeds off.
The girls transform into fairies and follow the sleigh. Kirsty suggests magicking up something to distract the reindeer and Chrissie conjures up a big carrot, making it float in front of the reindeer. It comes to a screeching halt and follows the carrot into a ditch, causing the goblin to fall out of the sleigh and drop the card. Chrissie gets the card back and the goblin stalks off angrily. Rachel and Kirsty ride the sleigh back to Tippington where it turns back into a postbox. Chrissie clears up the mess the goblin made, thanks the girls and leaves, telling them to look out for her other objects.
A Spoonful of Magic[]
The next day, Mrs Walker wakes the girls up to help her make a Christmas pudding. Mrs Walker pulls out a wooden mixing spoon she’s never seen before and the girls take turns stirring the Christmas pudding.
While they’re letting it boil, Mrs Walker takes Buttons on his walk and the girls retreat to Rachel’s bedroom, where Chrissie arrives to look for her spoon.
Rachel and Kirsty realise the spoon they used earlier must’ve been her magic spoon, so they rush downstairs to find the kitchen ransacked and the spoon gone. They see two goblins fighting over the spoon but when Chrissie calls them out, they dash out of the kitchen.
A close call with Mr Walker intensifies the goblin chase as they have hidden around the Walkers’ house. Eventually, they find the goblins in the bathroom shower and they haven’t realised they’ve been spotted.
Chrissie sneakily turns on the shower and the goblins, freezing cold, give up and drop the spoon, leaving for the Ice Castle. Chrissie takes her spoon and cleans up the Walkers’ kitchen and the girls are determined to find her last object.
Chrissie’s Christmas Carol[]
It’s Christmas Eve and the girls are out singing Christmas carols with friends and neighbours to raise money for charity. They spot one caroller, Isabelle, holding the magic carol sheet and decide to stick close to her to make sure it’s safe. Soon, they reach Mrs Patterson’s cottage but Andrew, the lead carol singer, remarks he thought she’d gone away for Christmas. Nonetheless, he knocks on the door and a small old man opens the door, claiming to be Mrs Patterson’s brother.
The group starts singing ‘We Wish You a Merry Christmas’ for him and he grudgingly listens, but his face lights up when he sees Isabelle’s sparkling carol sheet, so much so that his beard begins to slip, revealing a long green nose. He is a goblin! The goblin snatches the carol sheet off Isabelle and slams the door.
The girls convince Andrew to let them try and get it back, so the group leaves. Rachel and Kirsty find Chrissie hidden on the Christmas wreath on the door and turns the girls into fairies. They fly down the chimney but pass an envelope addressed to Jack Frost, carried by a gust of icy wind. They realise the goblin has summoned him. Inside the house, the girls decide they should put the goblin to sleep, turning on the fire and letting him doze off. Kirsty tries to sneak the carol sheet off his lap but he wakes up and attacks them. Suddenly, the windowpanes start to freeze and the air gets cold - Jack Frost is on his way.
Chrissie whips out the mat from under the goblin, causing him to fall while Rachel and Kirsty catch the carol sheet. Jack Frost enters the room and freezes the goblin, demanding they give him the carol sheet or he’ll freeze them like he just demonstrated. The girls, holding the carol sheet, quickly think up a rhyming wish as Jack Frost raises his wand. But he lowers it. The frown on his face softens and he nags the girls to give the carol sheet back to Chrissie.
Humoured, they assure him they will and he unfreezes the goblin, magicking them both back to the Ice Castle. Rachel suggests they hide the fairy-size sheet in the address locket on Buttons’ collar, where it’ll be safe until Chrissie picks it up on New Years Eve. Excited at the plan, Rachel and Kirsty wish her goodbye and leave the cottage, finding two glittering diaries on the doorstep. They rejoin the carolling group, glad to wish everyone a merry Christmas.
