The Christmas Carol is set in the 19th century, around the time of Charles Dickens, who wrote the original story. In this version, the main character is a young man named Jack, who is raised by his uncle and aunt after his parents die in a tragic accident. As he grows older, he is exposed to the harsh realities of the world and the pain of loss, but he also finds joy in the simple pleasures of life. Jack's life is turned upside down when he encounters the mysterious figure of Frosty the Snowman, who helps him to find his way back to a more innocent and hopeful worldview.
