Exterior, dark winter solstice, morning sky, Alaska. A Christmas song plays as Santa and Bernie in her new fit fly past a welcome to Alaska sign. The sleigh flies over a mining town built into a mountainside with carts and copper decorating the scene. The echoes of children waking up to Christmas miracles follow the sleigh.
