Get ready for a special Christmas delivery from Jack Truck! Snow is falling and the roads are slippery! Jack Truck calls on Tow Truck Ted to help deliver a special Christmas present to their Trucktown friends.

Lift the flaps and follow along as they make their way through freezing forests, snowy hills, weather-damaged roads, and frozen rivers. The last flap reveals a very merry Christmas surprise!
