Torvold (Andrew David Long) is haunted by a goblin he killed, just as Morley haunted Scrooge. Before the goblin ghost can detail the 3 visitations that will purge the greed from Torvold, Gwen (Larissa Thompson) arrives. The healer's presence destroys the ghost and the peril was no more. Gwen offers Torvold a Christmas present: a face carved in wood. He is indifferent. Sasha (Julie Orton) arrives and tells how she used her carved face for kindling. Neither Sasha nor Torvold got anything for Gwen. It is then that Sasha describes the holiday of her people: Crushmas. The goal is to travel into the woods and slay the white spirit of the forest and loot it. Sasha, Torvold, and a reluctant Gwen trek into the snowy woods to find the spirit and kill it. Azarus (Phil Burke) does not accompany them as he is combatting a gelatinous boob. Through happenstance, the party encounters a snow troll, which Sasha gladly accepts as the spirit of the forest to be slain. Comedy follows as the troll heals faster than they can injure it.
A 2-episode Christmas special, it is brief yet entertaining. Recommended.
