Mia and Liam are celebrating their very first Christmas in snowy Michigan after moving from Tennessee, and they can’t wait for sledding, snowball fights, and festive family traditions. But when a carefree afternoon turns into a daring rescue of a frostbitten kitten and a stranded, ice-covered calf, their holiday takes an unexpected—and unforgettable—turn.
Just when the excitement seems to settle, another emergency hits close to home: Liam’s beloved dog, Diamond, sneaks a batch of double-chocolate-chip cookies and needs urgent veterinary care. With determination, quick thinking, and plenty of love, the Vet Kids step up to help animals in need—on Christmas Eve, no less.
As the family gathers at the end of the night to place the shining star atop their glowing Christmas tree, Mia and Liam discover the true heart of the season: compassion, teamwork, and the joy of helping others.
A heartwarming holiday adventure perfect for young readers ages 8–12 who love animals, snowy surprises, and stories filled with family, kindness, and Christmas magic.
