Divorcee Scott Calvin (Tim Allen) is disgusted to
learn that his ex-wife Laura (Wendy Crewson) and her husband Dr Neil Miller
(Judge Reinhold) have tried to break it to their 6-year-old son Charlie (Eric
Lloyd) that Santa isn't real, thankfully they failed but a huge argument
ensued.
But on Christmas Eve, after Scott has read “The
Night Before Christmas” to Charlie and put him to bed Charlie is awakened by a bump on the roof so he wakes
up his Dad.
They
discover a man in a Santa suit on the roof and when he's startled by Scott calling
out to him, he falls, leaving only an 8-reindeer sleigh and an empty suit with
instructions to put it on if the previous occupant was involved in an accident.
Scott does as the card says and is transported all
around the town dropping gifts through chimneys until he's taken to the North
Pole and informed by a group who claim they're elves, led by Bernard (David
Krumholtz), that he is now Santa Claus.
Charlie is so proud of his dad's new job, though
Scott is convinced that it was just a dream, that is until his hair turns
white, his beard keeps growing back, and he inexplicably gains a lot of weight.
He finds himself unable to come to any other
conclusion other than to accept that he is Santa, however there is just one
problem, how is he going to keep it secret from his disbelieving family.
