But what happens when people stop believing in the true luck of the leprechauns? There is less gold to be stored up each year, which means less luck. If there is no more luck, the leprechaun lose their role in St. Patrick’s Day and could mean the end of them all together. Can Brad and Chad help keep the luck going for one leprechaun who has lost his last piece of gold? Will their belief be enough to save all the true leprechaun luck? It’s another adventure for the Holiday Heroes!

Easter has always been a wonderful time, and Mr. Easter Rabbit was always excited to play his part. When he was gifted with magical feet, it was his duty to ensure each person received one special egg. However, people got tired of just one special egg and the desire for quantity rather than quality became the highlight of the holiday. Slowly, Mr. Rabbit began to lose the magic in his feet that allowed him to place the special eggs. Holiday Management was going to retire Mr. Rabbit, but decided to make one last effort to save his position. They took what magic was left in his feet and placed it in a lucky rabbit's foot. Mr. Rabbit was told that if someone could ever be truly happy with one special egg again, his magic would be restored. In order to accomplish this task, he set out to seek the help from some special people - Brad and Chad. Now, mind you, they weren't planning on becoming heroes again. Needless to say, their Easter just became a little more interesting - and magical!

Christmas had become nothing more than an excuse for people to get what they wanted. Good or bad, it became a very selfish holiday. The use for Santa Claus became less and less because everyone's "wishes" had become non-heartfelt demands.

The only way Santa can be restored to the North Pole, was for someone to come along and make a true heartfelt wish. This is the story of how two young men have the chance to save Christmas, or will their own selfish demands get in the way?
