It isn't easy as they juggle the factory elves, including Nick's head elf Matilda and the political activist Helenor, as well as parenting two sons – Nick's mini-me Harry and the crown prince, Jack, who's not only next in line for the Suit, but also looking to rebrand it. Reporting on all the drama in The Pole? Cocoa, host of the North Pole News Network Program, "Morning Cocoa."
