As a toddler, Buddy mistakenly crawls into Santa’s bag of gifts and is transported to the North Pole.  Raised unaware that he is actually a human, Buddy finds that he is a giant amongst his fellow elves, and he is just terrible at making toys!

With Santa's permission, Buddy embarks on a journey to New York City to find his birth father and discover his true identity. Faced with the harsh realities that his father is on the naughty list and his half-brother doesn't even believe in Santa, Buddy is determined to win over his new family and help New York remember the true meaning of Christmas.
