Adding to the fun is the availability of two immersive Eleanor's Very Merry Christmas Party in a Box options, ranging in price from $45 - $60 plus shipping and handling fees.

For added entertainment, viewers can enjoy videos and content from the cast and crew on ELEANOR'S VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS WISH - THE MUSICAL's Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.

"Our wish is to keep the magic of the holidays sparkling in the eyes of children no matter what challenges we face this year," said Denise McGowan Tracy, executive producer. "Home has become even more important to families this year as it adds office and school to its responsibilities. And through it all, 'home' remains our safe place. A happy place filled with family and friends. And now Eleanor's wish for her home can come safely to your home for the holidays with the reminders of what is truly important. Home. Hope. Heart. And the sprinkle, sparkle, and twinkle of holiday magic. This holiday season we gather together - possibly apart - but connected by Eleanor's story of hope."

ELEANOR'S VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS WISH - THE MUSICAL tells the heartwarming story of a rag doll named Eleanor who is looking for a best friend and a new home. Despite her love for her family there, including Santa, Mrs. "Cookie" Claus, Clara Claus, and the elves - Twinkle, Sprinkle, and Sparkle, Eleanor's very merry Christmas wish is for a best friend and home of her own. Realizing that wishing is not enough, she writes a letter to Santa expressing her dream. The letter opens the door to answering many questions and to the journey which leads to her wish (and others) coming true.
