Script Summary:
On Christmas Eve, the Baker and Old Woman create a special gingerbread man in their holiday-themed bakery. Unexpectedly, the gingerbread man springs to life and escapes into the snowy village. During his daring run, he encounters various characters—Old Man, Reindeer, Snowman, and Elf—all of whom he outsmarts and leaves behind. His confidence grows as he speeds through a world lit by festive lanterns and warm holiday markets. As the Gingerbread Man approaches a frozen river, he meets Mrs. Fox, who offers to help him cross. Confident from his earlier escapes, he accepts her help. Step by step, Mrs. Fox coaxes him closer until he is perched on her head. Too late, he realizes her true intention. In a swift bite, Mrs. Fox ends his flight. The story concludes with villagers puzzled and a choir softly singing, reminding us that even in the merriest season, caution and wise choices matter.
