Caught up in a supercell squall line, Santa and his son Banta and pet reindeer Canta are snatched from the North Pole in a Polar Vortex and deposited unceremoniously down under. Transitioning, without warning, from 0 °F to 100 °F, and catching Twinkel by surprise in the process!
While enjoying Christmas in the Tropics, you met Roskaizan.
Twinkel shook paws with Roskaizan the Bashful Badger. They both received one silver mole!
Roskaizan gave you 1 "Baby Cheerling (Walking)" size 7
When Twinkel asks Banta to explain who they are and where they have come from, the twin cookies Davo and Macca wander over to take a gander. Banta, like most young Cheerlings, still believes in magic, and says he was daydreaming about seeing sunlight during a big storm, and suddenly here they were...! But where, exactly, IS here?

Twinkel shook paws with Danaë the Majestic Monarch Butterfly. They both received one silver mole!
Danaë gave you 1 "Beary Blue T-Shirt Shortbread Bear" size 10
When the twins discover that this IS the real Santa, who is a long way from home and quite inappropriately dressed for the tropical climate down under, they raid their father's wardrobe to provide Santa with their father's favourite garishly colourful holiday Harry outfit, of boardies, a singlet and a pair of pluggers (aka flipflops). So while Santa is slipping into something more comfortable (or is that sipping into something more comfortable?), the twins offer Banta some of their own summer clothing, but Banta declines, because he is VERY attached to his own red suit, which is actually his fur, and not removable clothing!
While enjoying Christmas in the Tropics, you met Chesterfield.
Twinkel shook paws with Chesterfield the Grey Playful Kitten. They both received one silver mole!
Chesterfield gave you 1 "Dancing Green Cheerling" size 10
Canta volunteers to look after the sleigh, which is stowed in the twins' father's barn, while Boomer Kangaroo and Jack Donkey, who are more accustomed to the sweltering heat, help the twins to take Santa and Banta on a once in a lifetime tour of the tropics, complete with a wagon load of Chrissie pressies to deliver en route.
While enjoying Christmas in the Tropics, you met Little Fang.
Twinkel shook paws with Little Fang the Wolverine. They both received one silver mole!
The tour group's first port of call is the aptly named Flamingo Island, where Boomer's mob resides. Kangaroos have excellent hearing, so it is no surprise that Boomer's cousins hear on the grapevine that Santa is coming, giving them plenty of time to put out their Christmas lights!

Twinkel shook paws with Hyacinthie the Green Beautiful Unicorn. They both received one silver mole!
Hyacinthie gave you 3 "Holiday Gift Box (Saskatoon)" size 7

Twinkel shook paws with Salem the Brown Owl. They both received one silver mole!
The next port of call for our tour group is Thong Beach! There is a Thong Beach on every planet. A special place where the Trade Winds and Prevailing Currents wash all of the lost thongs (aka flipflops) ashore, and the locals use said thongs to decorate their Christmas Tree!

Twinkel shook paws with Splodge the Chocolate Milky Moo Cow. They both received one silver mole!
Splodge and you found 5 "Flip Flop Oranament" size 4.
Although the tour group reaches Sunset Beach in perfect time for a spectacular sunset, the unaccustomed heat seems to have exhausted Twinkel, Santa and Banta, who stretch out on the beach to sleep. Having missed their own afternoon siestas, the twins, Boomer and Jack are only too happy to join them, while a family of local bandicoots raids the cartload of pressies...
While enjoying Christmas in the Tropics, you met Morgaine.
Twinkel shook paws with Morgaine the Purple Dragon Hatchling. They both received one silver mole!
Morgaine gave you 3 "Holiday Gift Box (Cranberry)" size 7

While enjoying Christmas in the Tropics, you met Choose a name.
Twinkel shook paws with Choose a name the Tabby Cat. They both received one silver mole!
The twins direct the team inland for an unscheduled stop at the Blue Lake, which looks decidedly pink in the early morning sunlight! Twinkel is fascinated to learn that this lake, nestled inside an extinct volcano, is believed to be bottomless. While Santa takes a quick bath, Twinkel helps Boomer and Jack to load all of Santa's pressies into a row boat, to transport them across the lake.
While enjoying Christmas in the Tropics, you met Mochi.

Dahlia gave you 3 "Holiday Gift Box (Currant)" size 7
Twinkel and the tour group take a stroll around Paradise Island, finding what would have been an idyllic deserted beach, if the prevailing currents hadn't washed ashore so much hooman ocean and beach debris! Unable to leave any beach in this condition, the pets set about restoring it to its pre-hooman pristine state!
While enjoying Christmas in the Tropics, you met get-a-job-bring-me-a-mouse-and-a-20.
Twinkel shook paws with get-a-job-bring-me-a-mouse-and-a-20 the Grey Playful Kitten. They both received one silver mole!
get-a-job-bring-me-a-mouse-and-a-20 and you found 5 "Christmas Cactus 2020 (Lights)" size 4.
Hearing loud cheers from a neighbouring island, Twinkel wants to investigate, hoping that it's the annual cane toad races! Wouldn't that really be something for Santa and Banta to tell Mrs Santa about?
While enjoying Christmas in the Tropics, you met Lilly.
Twinkel shook paws with Lilly the Green Happy Dragon. They both received one silver mole!
The tour group enters Santa's cartload of toys in the annual pageant, waving happily to the cheering spectators, and giving out the occasional pressie while they are at it. However the twins are a wake up to Twinkel! "No, Twinkel!" They admonish, "We know you are not really a spectator, so you won't be getting another pressie just yet!"
While enjoying Christmas in the Tropics, you met Juniper.
Twinkel shook paws with Juniper the Chipmunk. They both received one silver mole!
Juniper gave you 3 "Holiday Gift Box (Cranberry)" size 7
When the tour group reaches the bandstand, the emcee quickly pulls them all up onto the stage. She thrusts music books into their paws, imploring them to lead the singing for Carols by Candlelight! Fortunately most of the spectators are tone deaf, so they won't be too terribly offended if Twinkel's singing resembles a wolf howling at a full moon!
While enjoying Christmas in the Tropics, you met Magenta.
Twinkel shook paws with Magenta the Purple Dragonfly 2.0. They both received one silver mole!
All that wonderful singing clearly inspired our intrepid tour group, who floated along on their success to the Opera House where they could immerse themselves in world class petformances of all of the classics! But the petformance is interrupted by an urgent announcement, warning all pets to take shelter inland, because Tropical Cyclone Scaredy, forming off the coast, is likely to sweep up everything in its path!
While enjoying Christmas in the Tropics, you met Slider.
Twinkel shook paws with Slider the Stormy Sky Bunny. They both received one silver mole!
Slider and you found 5 "Huckleberry Wreath" size 4.
So the tour group hurries ashore, heading inland, to ensure Canta and the sleigh are battened down and safe from Tropical Cyclone Scaredy. And so begins a great race across the country, tour group vs Tropical Cyclone Scaredy, but who will get there first?

While enjoying Christmas in the Tropics, you met Mochi.
Twinkel shook paws with Mochi the Dwarf Hamster. They both received one silver mole!
Santa grabs up his presents and points to Tropical Cyclone Scaredy, wondering if TCS might be the local equivalent of a Polar Vortex, capable of picking up the whole tour group and whisking them across the seas to the North Pole?
While enjoying Christmas in the Tropics, you met soriyah.
Twinkel shook paws with soriyah the Dauntless Dolphin. They both received one silver mole!
Santa gives Twinkel a sock of gold to finish distributing pressies to the local pets. And with a cheerful wave and hearty "Ho Ho Ho" Santa leaps into the eye of the cyclone, sbouting back:
CHANGE PETS N-O-W!
Twinkel has completed the quest! Please select another pet as visitor, so it can also take part!
