KANSAS CITY, Mo., Nov. 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- This year, Hallmark is specially delivering products that help build anticipation for Christmas through a fun link to Santa's magical city, Northpole. All the myths and stories from your childhood are true … Northpole is real, and it's bigger than you think and more fun than you can imagine. It was founded by Santa and Mrs. Claus, and there are elves who live there that have families just like ours. The whole city is powered by magic snowflakes that are created when children from our world share Christmas togetherness with their families. How will Hallmark help create this magical link?
