Brought to you by the same team that made Superman: the Movie, this tells of the origin of the man in red from a simple woodcarver in an unnamed northern country who, "having no children of his own" would take all children as his wards.

The movie is basically split into two parts, the first half being the origin of Santa Claus (played by David Huddleston) and the second part showcases Patch (played by Dudley Moore) as an elf trying to get back on Santa's good side after his plans for mass-production of toys fails Santa's high standards.
