The Christmas Angel: A Family Story is a 1998 Christmas album by the band
Mannheim Steamroller, their fifth Christmas album. The soundtrack, accompanied by the narration of
Chip Davis and
Olivia Newton-John, tells the story of a decorative
angel that is stolen from the top of a
Christmas tree by a villain called the Gargon. The toys under the tree will not become presents until the angel is found. With the toys' help, a young mother defeats the Gargon and
Christmas is saved. The script was written by
Mark Valenti.
The story was then turned into a
figure skating production titled The Christmas Angel: A Story on Ice, starring
Dorothy Hamill as the mother, Daniel Cloonan as the son,
Elvis Stojko as the Gargon, and
Tonia Kwiatkowski in the title role of the Angel.
