It tells the story of a brother and sister who unexpectedly embark on a magical journey to save Christmas, and in doing so, discover the power of belief, family, and holiday spirit.The story follows Kate and Teddy Pierce, two siblings struggling with the recent loss of their father. As Christmas approaches, the once-tight-knit family has grown distant. Teddy, the older brother, has become rebellious and skeptical, while Kate clings to the hope that Christmas magic still exists. When their mother is called into work on Christmas Eve, the kids are left home alone.
Kate, armed with a video camera, is determined to capture footage of Santa Claus. She convinces a reluctant Teddy to stay up with her, and to their amazement, they catch sight of Santa delivering presents in their living room. They sneak into his sleigh, but things go awry, causing the sleigh to crash and Santa to lose his magical hat, his reindeer, and his bag of toys.
Without these vital tools, Christmas is in jeopardy β millions of children around the world may wake up disappointed. Santa, played with wit and charm by Kurt Russell, enlists the help of the two children to recover the lost items and save the holiday.

Santa helps them understand that even though their dad is gone, his love and the memories they shared still live on. Their shared adventure not only saves Christmas but also rekindles the love and unity within their family.
The film ends on a joyful note, with Christmas restored, the sleigh repaired, and Santa returning to the North Pole β where we meet his spirited elves and Mrs. Claus, played in a surprise cameo by Goldie Hawn.
