Santa Claus' gift-giving routine has developed into a complex hi-tech operation. However, when one girl is accidentally missed out, his youngest son Arthur takes control of the family sleigh to deliver her gifts the old-fashioned way - but following in his father's footsteps is not as easy as it looks. Animated comedy, with the voices of James McAvoy, Jim Broadbent and Bill Nighy.

For hundreds of years, the Claus family has delegated the title "Santa" to a chosen few of its members, which can be passed down upon retirement. Each Christmas, Santa and his vast army of highly trained elves produce gifts and distribute them around the world in a one-night high-tech operation. However, when one of 600 million children to receive a gift from Santa on Christmas Eve is missed, it is deemed ‘acceptable’ to all but one—Arthur Claus, the current Santa’s misfit son deemed ineligible for the title, who executes an unauthorised rookie mission to get the last present halfway around the globe before dawn on Christmas morning.
