Mel and Tootsie Footmeyer have kept their shoe store open for 42 years, but business is not booming as it once had, and this year may prove to be the last. What can they do? Enter Frankie and Gino, two bumbling, lovable elves who have nothing but time on their hands and a burning desire to build, build, build! Come join the fun as Santa’s shoe artists help the Footmeyers spread good cheer all around New York City. Expect exciting celebrity appearances and swinging big band music to keep the holiday spirit hopping.
