Title: The Snowman’s Secret

#Story :

Charlie builds a snowman on the first snowy day of winter and is proud of his creation. Later that night, Charlie feels that something is different about his snowman, as if it has come to life. When he sneaks outside, he discovers that his snowman can talk! The snowman invites Charlie to join him for an enchanted night adventure, where they meet other snowmen who come alive under the full moon. Together, they play, explore, and have fun, but when morning comes, the magic fades, and the snowmen return to being ordinary snow figures. Charlie promises to never forget the magical night with his snowman.
