George Billings (John Denver) is a successful New York City architect and his boss Thomas A. Renfield (Edward Winter) sends him on a business trip to look over a small Colorado town that he has earmarked for a possible real estate development.
One year earlier, at
Christmastime, George’s beloved wife had died so what was meant to be a joyous
season is a time of painful memories for George and his seven year old daughter
Alexandra (Gennie James).
George decided he
would take his daughter with him on the trip for a Christmas vacation and when
he and Alex arrived in the small charming hamlet of Georgetown, they discovered
that it was a place where everyone, from the very oldest inhabitant to the very
youngest child, believed in Santa Clause.
It doesn’t take long
for George and Alex to fall under the towns spell, or for George to do the same
with the hamlets lovely postmistress Susan McMillan (Jane Kaczmarek).
Unfortunately, on the
strength of George's glowing reports, his boss Renfield proceeds with plans to
transform the town into a modern ski resort.
Soon everyone, Susan and
Alex included turns against George, despite the fact he had already lost his
job for protesting against it.
However he wins the
inhabitants of the mystical Colorado town back with his daring plan to thwart
Renfield and preserve Georgetown's old fashioned charm.
And just to make the
whole tale even more special Santa pitches in with a few "miracles"
of his own.
But Pat Corley as Taxi
Driver Bud Sawyer and the ever reliable Mary Wickes as Henrietta are the icing
on the very festive Christmas cake
