You are a member of HOHOHO – the Helping Out & Happiness Optimization Holiday Organization - an elite group of elves operating out of Santa’s North Pole Headquarters. Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to help Santa bring joy to all the good girls and boys. You’ll coordinate the efforts of busy workshop elves, powerful flying reindeers, and even the big man himself. Take the right actions and you’ll bring joy to the world and ensure that everyone has a Merry Christmas!

Each player drafts a hand of twelve actions, ten of which will be played throughout the game's three phases. Elves are used in the Workshop Phase to craft toys from the list. Reindeer are used during the Sleigh Phase to ensure the toys are delivered to excited children. Items are placed in the Tree Phase to elevate the atmosphere of joy and wonder. Santa makes frequent appearances throughout the game, offering his help along the way. As Christmas comes to a close, players are scored based on the toys delivered and the joy those toys inspire.
