This festive story encompasses all the ingredients of a timeless holiday favorite—adorable dogs, the charm of a small town, and a vibrant Christmas pageant. Set against the backdrop of the Great Depression, “12 Dogs of Christmas” tells the tale of 12-year-old Emma, who is sent to live with her aunt in the rural town of Doverville. Like the rest of the country, the town is experiencing hard times and has seemingly lost its enthusiasm for celebrating. Nevertheless, Emma succeeds in rallying the town’s dogs to participate in a lively holiday pageant, rekindling the community’s Christmas spirit despite the challenges of the era.
