Single Santa Seeks Mrs. Claus

Le père Noël, qui envisage de se retirer, aimerait que son fils, Nick, reprenne le flambeau. Malheureusement, celui-ci est encore célibataire et si l'on veut que la passation se fasse dans les règles, il doit se trouver une fiancée. La veille de Noël, Nick part à la recherche de celle qui pourrait devenir sa femme. Il croise alors le chemin de Beth, jeune mère célibataire qui élève seule son fils. Cette dernière, qui ne croit plus en la magie de Noël, se noie dans le travail...

A single mother whose faith in love died with her former husband learns that Christmas miracles can still happen in director Harvey Frost's warmhearted tale of winter magic. Beth Sawtelle (Crystal Bernard) is a devoted single mother and advertising executive whose current campaign could put her on the fast track to the big time. The holiday season is here, and in order to sell the latest in video game technology, Beth's campaign needs the perfect Santa Claus. As Beth burns the midnight oil night after night and attempts to convince her young son Jake (Dominic Scott Kay) never to have faith in fantasies, the wistful young man pens a letter to Santa asking for a new dad for the holidays. It seems that up in the North Pole the time has come for Saint Nick to pass along the seasonal responsibilities to his son Nick (Steve Guttenberg), but in order to take the position, Nick must have a Mrs. Claus before Christmas Eve. Upon receiving the Christmas request from young Jake, Nick sets his sights on Los Angeles, and Beth Sawtelle in particular. Despite his best intentions, it's going to take more than a Christmas miracle to convince the dejected widow that love can still conquer all.

Rimasta prematuramente vedova, Beth esorta il figlio Jake a non perdersi dietro inutili fantasie. Ma il bambino imbuca di nascosto una lettera per Babbo Natale richiedendo un nuovo papà. La lettera finisce nella mani di Nick, il figlio di Santa Clause. Ma per succedere al padre, Nick deve trovare moglie entro la vigilia.

Santa Claus se ha jubilado y este año será su hijo Nick (Steve Guttenberg) quien se encargue de hacer felices a todos los niños del mundo. Pero para esta labor necesita casarse con su actual novia, Beth (Crystal Bernard), ya que hay tareas que sólo puede desempeñar la Señora Claus. La madre de la novia, una millonaria cursi y estirada, no imagina la identidad de su futuro yerno, y su hija no encuentra el momento de desvelarle el secreto.
