MISTLETOE is a hand-crafted animated Christmas horror fable directed by Andrea Schmitz & Andrea Sparacio. Based on the 19th-century poem “The Mistletoe Bough,” the film tells the story of a Baron, his new bride, and a festive game that spirals into tragedy.

Told through painterly illustration, candlelit atmosphere, and a haunting narration, MISTLETOE reimagines a classic Victorian ghost tale.
