Although Christine, an elf played by Summer Glau, adores Christmas, she starts to question if there’s more to life than crafting toys at the North Pole. When Santa receives an urgent wish from a young boy in Los Angeles, he assigns Christine a special mission. She is sent to L.A. to deliver a festive wake-up call to the VanCamp family—comprised of mom Sara (Eva La Rue), dad Scott (Dan Gauthier), and their children Ally (Izabela Vidovic) and Will (Mason Cook). Will Christine fail in her mission and be permanently sent back to the North Pole, or will the VanCamps rediscover the true spirit of Christmas?
