Invited Guests
ISABELLA RUDOLPH
Town Gossip
Isabella Rudolph is the zany homemaker and neighborhood watch coordinator. Isabella recently moved to the tiny town of Snow Falls, and in no time, she was labeled the town gossip. Everybody is afraid to be around Isabella, as she doesn’t keep secrets. Isabella comes from old money and dedicates her time to charities and party planning.
Isabella wants nothing more than to rise to the top of the social ladder and become a socialite. However, in her short time in Snow Falls, she has already found herself served with papers for a lawsuit. Maybe if Isabella would keep her nose in her own business, she would stay out of trouble? Is being popular worth the stress?
Isabella has a bad habit of compulsively interrupting someone telling a story if she has heard it before and knows what is coming next. This annoying habit tends to anger others.
Suggested attire: Tacky holiday sweater and as many tacky holiday accessories (i.e. crazy Santa hat, elf ears, etc.) as you can find.
ROXY RICH
Heiress
Roxy Rich is an heiress, and her iconic family owns most of the real estate in Snow Falls. Roxy is a drama queen, so have tissues on hand for this emotional diva! Choose your words carefully around her if you don’t want to make her cry - or worse – throw a tantrum! Roxy gets what she wants, and is always seen with her assistant, Parker Mistletoe.
Roxy will often pretend as if she doesn't know people that she has been introduced to before. This is her way of making others feel small. Roxy also isn't close to her family and has caused strife and disdain among them over the years. Maybe Roxy is a bit of a chaos junkie?
Roxy loves to flaunt her money and makes jokes about those who aren't as affluent as her. This certainly doesn't make people want to be friends with her. Albeit, many ladder climbers in town will take anything she dishes out.
Suggested attire: Tacky holiday sweater. However, you will remove the sweater moments after your arrival and unveil a fabulous holiday dress.
ALEXIS HARMONY
Choir Director
Alexis Harmony is the clueless director of the Snow Falls Girls’ Choir. Alexis sings like a sick alley cat, but nobody has the heart to let her know about her horrible singing voice. It’s a good thing she has many other voices in the choir to hide her abysmal crooning - until it is time for her dreaded solo performance.
Alexis is a bit of a humanitarian and tries to do the right thing in most cases. But Alexis isn't innocent, by any means. She is known to spread gossip and start trouble between her mutual friends. Alexis is one of the peacemakers of her family, but she does have a threshold. She can only take so much nonsense.

Being an educator, Eva has a strong maternal side for anyone who has ever been a student at her high school. She has open ears to hear about problems and a shoulder to cry on. She is one of the best people in Snow Falls to go to for advice.
On the other hand, Eva can be a bit preachy at times. If Eva gets on a soapbox, she might not come down for a while. She is judgmental and can take a counseling session too far. For these reasons, some people avoid her like the flu.

Everybody in town ducks out of sight when they see Harold, as he always asks for a loan. As ducks fly with ducks, Harold is often seen hanging out with his fellow moochers.
Harold has perfected the art of asking to borrow money. That is why he refuses to apply for jobs - it's much easier to get people to give money for nothing in return. He sometimes calls it a loan but has no intention to pay back the money. The people of Snow Falls have either learned to fork over the cash to Harold or avoid him.
There was a petition to prevent Harold and his friends from attending the ugly sweater party, but it was ignored by the hosts of the event, as it is not in the Christmas spirit to banish others.
Suggested attire: Too-sizes too small Christmas sweater and jeans. An empty wallet as an optional prop.
HAROLD FLAKE’S FRIEND
Moocher
Harold Flake’s mooching friends have latched on to Harold’s meticulous plan of borrowing and begging to get by from day-to-day. Without a shred of ambition, these couch potatoes do nothing but watch television and play video games.
Harold and his friends have networked into the elite circle of socialites in Snow Falls. The rich people in town like to compete on who is the bigger philanthropist, so they willingly give this group money.
Suggested attire: Too-sizes too small Christmas sweater and jeans. An empty wallet as an optional prop.
FRANK INCENSE
Former Department Store Santa
Frank Incense was recently released from the county jail for charges of public disturbance and vandalism. Frank was fired from his job as a department store Santa Claus at Bells Department Store. He became so angry about the termination, he ripped apart Santa’s village and was arrested. Frank was fired for a good reason. He always arrived to work late, left early, and told lies to the kids about Santa Claus being on vacation this year.
Frank narrowly escaped criminal charges after a customer filed a police report that she was 'almost hit with a gingerbread house wall.' She admittedly wasn't hit with anything, and Frank is raging mad that this woman tried to toy with him. Frank has vowed to take out his frustrations on her.
Suggested attire: Raggedy Santa Claus uniform with a tacky Christmas sweater. Make smudges on your face as if you are dirty and haven’t bathed.
MARK SLEIGH
Toy Store General Manager
Mark Sleigh is the ambitious general manager of Tinker Toy Store in Snow Falls. Even though he works for a small business, Mark does whatever it takes to compete with the bigger toy conglomerates like Toys B Us. Mark has his work cut out for him and is feeling the pressure of the holiday season.
Mark is stressed out more than usual this year, as it might be the last time that Tinker Toy Store is the go-to place for toys in Snow Falls. Mark heard rumors that one of the big chains is coming to town. Mark would do anything to prevent this, but he's just a toy store manager. He has no power.
Suggested attire: Business casual attire with a tacky Christmas sweater.
JAXSON FIRE
Department Store Elf
Jaxson Fire is the anxious department store elf at Bells Department Store. He has seen his share of Santa Claus actors come and go this season, as it seems the store manager keeps hiring whack jobs for the role. Jaxson does his best to deal with the stress caused by his colleagues but has recently been put on anti-anxiety medication.
Jaxson has stood by as many men hired into the Santa role at the store have lost their jobs. The store manager of Bells Department Store tried to promote Jaxson to the role of Santa, but Jaxson refused, as it's too much pressure. The last Santa was fired for being a terrible person and ripped up Christmas Village on his way out. Jaxson has had to see a therapist ever since this happened.
Suggested attire: Christmas elf costume with a tacky Christmas sweater on top. Fake pill bottles of anti-anxiety meds as a prop (fill with jelly beans.)
NICHOLAS VELVET
Department Store Santa
Nicholas Velvet is the newly-hired department store Santa Claus at Bells Department Store. Nicholas is mean-spirited and is so withdrawn that he ignores the kids as they sit in his lap. It’s only a matter of time before the store manager fires good ol’ unsociable Nick.
Bells Department Store is becoming infamous in Snow Falls for having dysfunctional Santa Clauses. The kids are starting to notice that Santa keeps changing ever-so-slightly in appearance, but the store manager's hands are tied - if a Santa is unruly and doing a poor job, they must go! If only the kids would just sit on his lap and not talk to him - things would be okay.
Nicholas is no different from the other five Santa Clauses before him. He is a train wreck waiting to happen. It is only a matter of time before he is escorted out by security.
Suggested attire: Santa Claus attire with a tacky holiday sweater instead of Santa’s jacket. White wig, glasses and beard as optional props.
RANDY DASHER
Lounge Singer
Randy Dasher is an aspiring rock star and local lounge singer. He believes he is talented but hasn’t been lucky enough to find his big break yet. If there’s ever a need for a peacemaker, head for Randy.
Randy is talented but lacks confidence. His ego is easily smashed into pieces, so he cannot take criticism easily. The worst thing anyone could do to this aspiring star is tell him he's not good at singing.
Randy is a dedicated friend to many people in town. They all rally behind him and give him the moral support he needs. However, with Randy's delicate personality, it would only take one person to say the wrong thing and crush his dreams.
Suggested attire: Trendy Christmas sweater.
DECK HALLMAN
Gift Wrap Specialist
Deck Hallman is a disgruntled gift wrapper at Bells Department Store. There are two sides to this present designer, and only one of them is worth being on. If you have something to offer Deck, s/he’s the nicest person you’ll ever meet. Double-cross Deck, and you’ll see a dark side.
Deck Hallman is the type of person who will plot revenge for an entire year against you if you cut Deck off in traffic. Deck is petty and calculating. Unfortunately, Deck has a group of like-minded friends with the resources to make someone's life difficult if they deserve it.
Suggested attire: Tacky Christmas sweater with a gift bow on your head.
CASS CHIMNEY
Build a Teddy Bear Stylist
Cass Chimney is a helpful stylist for the Build a Teddy Bear Store – a workshop where kids can design their own stuffed bears. Cass seems nice, but nobody knows the true person lurking inside.
Cass engages with kids at the store without a problem. The kids love Cass. However, when it comes to speaking to their parents, Cass freezes up like a statue. This makes Cass seem untrustworthy, as if s/he is hiding something. Could it be that Cass has ulterior motives? Or is Cass just a shy person?
Suggested attire: Tacky Christmas sweater. A stuffed teddy bear as an optional prop.
JOSS ANGEL
Christmas Stocking Designer
Joss Angel is the cranky Christmas stocking designer. Joss has a relatively successful online business selling customized Christmas stockings. However, during most of the year, Joss doesn’t have enough to do and stirs up trouble for many people.
Joss recently made the local newspaper after making real mink fur stockings for a custom order. Joss claims a client ordered them with real animal fur, but the client said Joss was lying. Whatever the reason for making the real fur stockings was doesn't matter, as Joss has had to endure the negative press. Joss deleted all social media accounts because the story was starting to go viral. Joss couldn't take all the negative comments...and death threats.
Suggested attire: Tacky Christmas sweater with tacky Christmas stockings hanging from it.
NORTH SNOW
Tennis Player
North Snow is the belligerent professional tennis player that suffers from severe anger management issues. North is judgmental, and this behavior offends the other tennis players, officials, and spectators who may get in North’s way.
North goes to his/her car quite often, but nobody knows why. The windows are tinted to an almost opaque black, so whatever North is doing in there - nobody will ever know. People at the tennis club have speculated that North is on important calls making deals with the mob, sleeping because North stays out all night vandalizing buildings, or even that North is working on weapons of mass destruction in a tiny lab in the back seat. People's minds will wander when they lack information and have intense curiosity.
North gets annoyed easily, and not just with tennis students. North snaps at the most trivial things, speaks with a loud voice without warning, and has a bad habit of slamming doors. Try to keep North in a good mood if you must be around this tennis pro for long.
Suggested attire: Tennis costume with a Christmas sweater. Tennis racket as an optional prop.
