Over the years there have been so many movies about saving Christmas for children, but this movie is a rare combination that not only entertains the children but also the adults.

Arthur, his younger, clumsy son who is assigned to answer letters to Santa finds out and makes his mission to save Christmas for that one little child, but the question is will he succeed.
