Here is the official synopsis: In Season 27 of Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go, the Number One Engine and his loc-amigos are ready for more Sodor surprises! The engines are celebrating the grand opening of a new bakery-café connecting farm-to-table routes and keeping busy bringing ingredients and sweet-smelling, flatcar-filling treats to festive tables. Thomas, Percy, Kana, Nia, Bruno and Diesel take on every challenge coupling with new and returning friends to get each job done. No matter how big the delivery or how impossible the task, there is nothing that Thomas and his friends can’t accomplish together!
The movie description reads: In Thomas & Friends: The Christmas Letter Express, Percy discovers a child’s letter to Santa Claus forgotten at the bottom of his mail cart on Christmas Eve, but he is determined to make things right, even if that means tracking down Mr. Claus himself! With help from Thomas and his friends, Percy travels through dazzling parades, sweet-smelling gingerbread bakes, and snowflake flurries on a quest to deliver the letter to Santa and make a child’s Christmas Wish come true. Written by Rick Suvalle and featuring three original holiday songs, Thomas & Friends: The Christmas Letter Express premieres on Netflix in late 2024.
