In this modern classic Christmas fantasy, a new Santa is needed at the North Pole. This is a story about family, love, wishes and wonder, just in time for the holidays. It's three days before Christmas, and there is still no Santa. The last Santa is old and tired, and has retired, and with time running out, the North Pole CEO (Coleman) is too flustered to make the decision. In a fated mix-up, he accidentally chooses a loser, who turns out in the end to be simply misunderstood, and the new Santa not only fills the old boots, but discovers a new love for his daughter in the process.
