A lighthearted holiday fantasy-comedy about Santa balancing magical duty with personal happiness, built on warmth, family bonds, and Christmas magic.

Better watch out! The big guy in red is coming to town once again. This time, Scott Calvin -- also known as Santa Claus -- finds out there's an obscure clause in his contract requiring him to take on a wife. He has to leave the North Pole to fulfill his obligations, or else he'll be forced to give up his Yuletide gig.
