Show Synopsis:
It’s finals week and students at Terrafroste University are rejoicing as they eagerly make their plans to return home for the holiday break. Everyone seems thrilled about going home for some rest, home cooking, and family traditions – everyone except Patch Winter. For Patch, their family’s world has recently been turned upside down after the death of their beloved grandmother, Nan, and now all the Winter family members are scattering for the holidays instead of meeting at Nan’s cozy homestead like usual. It looks like Patch is staying on campus alone this year… that is until her magical Squishmallow Gremlins come to life to take them on an unforgettable journey. Set to a musical score of holiday and pop favorites, Winterwoven is a story about finding joy through pain, connection through solitude, and the invisible threads binding us to loved ones through it all.
