What Is Journey to the Christmas Star About?

The premise of Journey to the Christmas Star without spoilers.

A young, kind-hearted girl named Sonja arrives in a small village accompanied by a group of bandits, only to discover it's under a mysterious curse. Years ago, the King's daughter, Goldhair, vanished while seeking the Christmas Star, leading to the Queen’s death and leaving the King heartbroken. He then cursed the Christmas Star, bringing darkness and sorrow to the land. An old sage reveals that Goldhair is still alive and will return if the King can rediscover the way to the Christmas Star, a quest he has failed to complete each year since.
