Christmas is coming and Santa’s (Douglas Campbell) house is buzzing with activity, but somehow the old boy’s heart isn’t in it this year. Disillusioned with all the selfishness and greed in the world he’s ready to throw in the towel, but his daughter Kristin Claus (Kathy Ireland) persuades him to give the mortals one last chance. If she can prove that even one family can change and become giving and caring again, Santa will put off his vacation in Hawaii and get back on the sleigh. Trouble is she’s saddled with the Morgan family, headed by a workaholic Dad (John Dye) and a couple of kids whose idea of good clean fun is putting peanut butter in the au pair’s underwear and glue on the school coach’s whistle. And with a sister (Mary Donnelly-Haskell) who makes Cruella de Ville look like the cutest pup in the shop ready to wreck her plans, can Kristin teach them that what you give is what you get, and stop the spirit of Christmas from disappearing forever?

To clear the way for a lucrative property deal, she launches a TV advertising campaign to sell off the North Pole, piece by piece. Christmas is under threat. Santa could be out of a job!
