A lighthearted family comedy about two kids discovering Santa's weather machine and learning the consequences of meddling with nature during the holiday season.

When 13-year-old Allie Thompson and her best friend Sam happen upon a weather-making machine discarded by none other than Santa Claus, they use it to cause a snow day in Los Angeles. But when the machine gets out of hand, it threatens to ruin Christmas.
