When Santa Claus (George Wendt) gets too sick to run the toy shop, his workaholic daughter Mary Claus (Jenny McCarthy) leaves behind her high-powered job in the city and heads north. This causes tensions between Mary and Santa, as Mary believes both the technology and the operations of the workshop need serious updating while Santa believes the tradition of Christmas must be respected and adhered to. Coming back home to the city of Polaris after many years also leads to Mary reuniting with her mother (Lynne Griffin) and her old flame Luke Jessup (Ivan Sergei).
