The story in "Gnomes Garden: Christmas Story" is described as minimal and lackluster, primarily serving as a backdrop to the gameplay with only a slight Christmas theme added to the cutscenes. Players can progress through the game regardless of their performance in previous levels, highlighting the story's secondary role to the strategic puzzle mechanics. Overall, the narrative is considered basic and not a significant draw for the game.
“Gnomes Garden: Christmas Story is a strategic path clearing, time managing puzzle game.”
“You can continue on with the story regardless of how many stars you earned for the previous levels, as long as you finish the level before moving on to the next.”
“The story is quite lacklustre.”

The music in the game features a Christmas theme, with festive background music accompanying the minimal story presented in the cut scenes. However, the overall musical content appears to be limited.
