English term or phrase: many Christmases rolled into one

Christmas comes but once a year – or so they say.
For an investigator who has legal access to review a suspects’ emails, the hoard of potentially golden information might be seen as many Christmases rolled into one.
Moja wersja robocza:
Mówi się, że gwiazdka jest tylko raz w roku.
Dla prowadzącego dochodzenie, który ma prawo wglądu do emaili podejrzanego, zasoby potencjalnie bezcennych informacji to jakby gwiazdka do potęgi / to tak, jakby gwiazda była co miesiąc ??? :-)

Grading comment

W kontekście gry słownej z powiedzeniem "Gwiazdka/Boże Narodzenie jest tylko raz w roku" najbardziej pasuje ta odpowiedź, ale "tak, jakby Mikołaj wprowadził się na stałe" też brzmi bardzo młodzieżowo :-)
