While on Christmas vacation in Cancun with their respective mom and dad, a true-Santa-believing girl and a boy are kidnapped by a rebellious Santa-hater as a plot for him to get into Santa’s Village at the North Pole and destroy it. The kids are saved by Santa and taken to the elf-populated Santa’s Village and Mrs. Claus, where they get a tour of the place, dinner, and bedtime story while the Santa-hater starts his sabotage.
