Dorey Walker is a marketing manager at a large department store that organizes a Christmas parade every year. This year, however, Santa is drunk and unruly, and Dorey hires Kriss, who happens to be there and looks like Santa. Not only for the parade but also for being Santa in the department store. Dorey lives alone with her daughter, Susan, and often sees lawyer Bryan but is afraid to commit. Kriss becomes very popular as Santa but the rival department store tries to destroy his reputation and it is Bryan who has to defend him in court. Meanwhile, Susan wishes that she would get a father, a house and a little brother for Christmas from Kriss.
A well-made and funny film with a lot of feel-good. A remake of a 1947 classic and a good one at that.
