Bursting with Christmas magic, discover the heart-warming true story of a little owl who's discovered living in the world's most famous Christmas tree.

When Little Owl’s home is cut down by people saying it will make a beautiful Christmas tree, she’s not sure she wants anything to do with Christmas, whatever that is. But when she wakes up, she finds that her tree has been transported to the Big City! Far from home, she's soon to find out the true meaning of Christmas.

Inspired by the real-life story of the little owl who found her way to New York in the famous Christmas tree outside the Rockefeller Center and who featured in Marvel's hit series Hawkeye on Disney+. Co-written by Ellen Kalish, caretaker of the real owl, The Christmas Owl is a charming story of friendship, compassion, and the true meaning of this special time of year.
