Synopsis
Scott Calvin has been Santa Claus for the past eight years, and his loyal elves consider him the best one ever. But Scott’s got problems. His son Charlie has landed on this year's “naughty” list, and if Scott doesn't marry by Christmas Eve—one very, very short month away—he’ll stop being Santa forever.
