Witches are supposed to love Halloween, but Ginger’s heart yearns for Christmas. But in order to get her yearned for visit from Santa, she has to get him to believe in witches. 

Instead of an edgy Nightmare before Christmas style mashup, Ginger feels more Pollyanna. While I applaud the concept, the creep factor is just not high enough to make this an absolute must.
