Arthur Christmas reveals the incredible, never-before seen answer to every child's question: So how does Santa deliver all those presents in one night? The answer: Santa's exhilarating, ultra-high-tech operation hidden beneath the North Pole. But at the center of the film is a story about a family in a state of comic dysfunction and an unlikely hero, Arthur, with an urgent mission that must be completed before Christmas morning dawns.

When a snowstorm threatens to stop Santa Claus from delivering Christmas presents, Rudolph the reindeer and his shiny red nose save the day.

When he and his caravan come crashing down to earth during a thunderstorm two weeks before Christmas, Santa is befriended by two children, Charlotte and Ben, who try to help him save the holiday from the tricks and moneymaking schemes of Gerold Geronimus Goblynch and to take off in time for his annual rounds.

When Santa quits his job a few days before Christmas because of too many greedy children, his daughter whisks young Stanley Lambchop and his family off to the North Pole to help change the old man's mind.

Although Santa Claus is nearly perfect, he cannot resist a plate of cookies, remember Mrs. Claus's grocery list, or even shave.

Santa Claus works with his elves to get the toys ready for Christmas Eve, visits all the boys and girls with his presents for them, and relaxes back at home after his work is done.

Minerva Louise follows a farmer in a red hat from a snowy rooftop, down a "well, " and into the house with the red curtains, where she finds a tree decorated with sparkling eggs.

Arthur puts a lot of time, effort, and thought into his special present for Santa Claus.

"Nikolas, the boy who would one day be known as Santa Claus, goes on a life-changing quest to the North Pole"--
