In Irland ist manches anders, auch das Weihnachtsfest. Der Weihnachtsmann wird auf seiner Runde traditionell mit jeder Menge Whiskey versorgt, und nicht nur er: Ein arbeitsloser Schauspieler im Weihnachtskostüm langt so kräftig zu, dass ihm, dem Whiskey sei Dank, die Vorstellung seines Lebens gelingt. Nach dem Genuss von zu viel Apfelwein begegnet ein Junge in der Weihnachtsnacht der leibhaftigen Totenfee.

Weihnachten in Irland ist anders als im Rest der Welt, denn ohne den irischen Whiskey ist das Fest auf der Grünen Insel nicht vorstellbar. Da kann es schon mal passieren, dass die Weihnachtssänger so berauscht sind, dass sie den Weihnachtstag verschlafen. Oder dass ein knurriger Einzelgänger nach dem ausgiebigen Genuss des Nationalgetränks einem kleinen Weihnachtsengel die Tür öffnet, der ihm den richtigen Weg in die Zukunft weist. Wirklichkeit oder irischer Zauber?
