Synopsis

For hundreds of years, the Claus family has delegated the title "Santa" to a chosen few of its members, which can be passed down upon retirement. Each Christmas, Santa and his vast army of highly trained elves produce gifts and distribute them around the world in a one-night high-tech operation. However, when one of 600 million children to receive a gift from Santa on Christmas Eve is missed, it is deemed ‘acceptable’ to all but one—Arthur Claus, the current Santa’s misfit son deemed ineligible for the title, who executes an unauthorised rookie mission to get the last present halfway around the globe before dawn on Christmas morning.

I keep coming back to this every Christmas. Properly British humour that hits the spot for me.

Lovable animated Christmas film I hadn't watched till last year. I think I will rewatch it every Christmas now.

A very enjoyable watch. I always find with Christmas films that whilst they may not be magnificently crafter that they bring about the nostalgia of your childhood and that is definitely the case here. I loved the animation and Jim Broadbent was a god casting choice to voice this films depiction of Santa. A very fun and enjoyable watch for the whole family.

This is definitely an unique take on Santa. I just wish the story was a little better.
