"Noël" is a 23-minute heartwarming coming-of-age Christmas special that aired on NBC’s primetime schedule in 1992.
The story revolves around a little red glass Christmas ornament with a unique backstory. Created with a tear of happiness by a glassblower in the 1920s, Noël possesses an infectious spirit of cheerfulness and enthusiasm. His adventures begin when he becomes part of a family's holiday decorations, placed under the wise Christmas tree named Brutus.
Over the years, Noël witnesses the joys of Christmas through the eyes of the children in the family, but as time passes, the children grow up, and the ornament is left forgotten in an attic. Eventually, a new family moves into the house and discovers the old ornaments, including the fragile Noël.
Despite his fragile condition, Noël is chosen to adorn the Christmas tree once more. However, an accident shatters the ornament, revealing his glowing tear of happiness. It's in this moment that Noël finally understands the true meaning of Christmas as he gazes upon the infant Jesus in the stable for the first time.
With newfound understanding and transformed into a radiant ball of happiness, Noël embarks on a mission to spread Christmas cheer worldwide.
