Plot Summary: Santa Claus has received a letter from Father Time about a recent emergency. The letter states that Father Time is in dire need of help to locate Happy, the current baby new year who has gone missing. The baby new year is a title given to an infant who represents a new year who must be present at the New Year’s Eve celebration before the stroke of midnight. However if there is no baby new year present at the celebration, then time will not be able to progress further. This means that all living things on earth will remain the same age forever. After reading the letter, Santa knows that Rudolph is the best and only choice to locate Happy, as it is currently foggy around the North Pole and Rudolph is the only one who can travel to the Sands of Time. Upon arriving, Rudolph learns from Father Time that Happy may of travelled to the Archipelago of Last Year, which consists of several time locked islands. Which are the islands, Rudolph ends up traveling to in order to locate Happy.
