Wear your favourite pyjamas and bring a blanket to cosy up while enjoying the movie. They’ll provide the goodies. There may even be a surprise guest on the night... HO HO HO...

Divorced toy company executive Scott Calvin (Tim Allen) is pleased to have his son Charlie with him for Christmas. When Santa Claus accidentally topples off the roof of the house, Scott takes his place, but when the night ends and the reindeer take them to the North Pole, Scott discovers that by donning the fabled red suit he has inadvertently agreed to become the next Santa Claus.

The next morning, he wakes up in his own bed and thinks it’s all a dream only Charlie remembers it with crystal clarity. Scott now must deal with his suspicious ex-wife (Wendy Crewson) and her psychiatrist boyfriend (Judge Reinhold), who both think he’s playing tricks with Charlie’s mind, and also with his own out-of-control body, which is putting on weight and growing a prodigious beard.
