THE YEAR WITHOUT A SANTA CLAUS

An all-star cast brings Christmas cheer to this funny, heartwarming story about Santa Claus and a young boy who help each other believe in Christmas again. Convinced that no one believes in him anymore and people have forgotten the real meaning of Christmas, Santa Claus (John Goodman) decides to take the year off and not deliver any gifts, much to the dismay of Mrs. Claus (Delta Burke), and his two closest elves, Jingle (Ethan Suplee) and Jangle (Eddie Griffin). While Santa�s devious head elf Sparky (Chris Kattan) schemes to take over his job, Jingle and Jangle set off on an adventure to find proof that the spirit of Christmas is still alive. But their efforts are complicated by Heatmiser (Harvey Fierstein) and Snowmiser (Michael McKean), the two feuding sons of Mother Nature (Carol Kane), whose help Jingle and Jangle will need if they want to save Christmas. This family Christmas comedy is based on "The Year Without a Santa Claus" by Phyllis McGinley, which was also the basis for the popular 1974 animated holiday classic of the same name.
