The story

Annabelle, a calf, is born on Christmas Eve on the farm of Charlie Baker in the rural farming community of Twobridge, Tennessee. Each Christmas, Santa Claus gives the animals a speaking voice for just one day; upon meeting him, Annabelle becomes fascinated with his reindeer and their ability to fly, and wishes to fly herself. Annabelle is granted as a gift to Charlie's grandson, Billy.
