Who is Santa Claus?
The person who currently helms the duty of gifting kids with toys or coal or nothing is Malcolm Claus.
Despite the advances in technology, Santa still relies on his S-1 vehicles to deliver presents to children around the world. Elves use state-of-the-art equipment to ensure that all of Santa’s elves get a chance to deliver presents on Christmas morning. ..
Steve Malcolm, Malcolm’s eldest son, is the man in charge of all the Christmas operations from the North Pole. While Arthur is responsible for responding to the letters sent to Santa from kids across the world.
How is the Toy misplaced?
A toy falls off the supply line and a girl named Gwen is missed. The toy is later found by an elf named Bryony Shelfley.
When Arthur learns that his family won’t be able to deliver the Christmas present he wants to give them using S-1, he tries to convince them to do so using his own words and example. Steve, who considers Christmas nothing but a business season, argues that they don’t need to deliver the present since it’s just one girl and more so because they have pulled off the most successful Christmas in history.
Malcolm’s father, Grandsanta, allows Arthur to use EVE, the traditional wooden sleigh, to deliver the present to Gwen. Grandsanta and Bryony join Arthur on the journey to Gwen’s place. ..
Is their journey trouble-free?
It’s not what you think. The trio lose many of their reindeer and gets lost on four continents. They are ultimately mistaken for aliens which results in a military operation against them. The trio lands on a Cuban island. Arthur is disappointed as he realizes Grandsanta’s true intention is to feed his own ego.
Malcolm’s indifference towards helping Steve during the Christmas rush leads to him losing his energy and wanting to give up. However, he soon realizes what presents really mean to children and gets the sleigh back with help from Grandsanta. This allows the group to leave for England. ..
What do Senior Clauses Realize?
As reports of present mishandling and Santa’s indifference continue to spread, the elves intensify the issues leading Malcolm to try to make amends. However, the inability of Malcolm and Steve to carry out Santa’s work is highlighted when they unsuccessfully try to deliver the present to Gwen. ..
Arthur’s team makes it to Gwen’s place and Arthur shows his beautiful intentions by caring solely and selflessly for the girl’s happiness. As Gwen gets her present, the senior Santas realize he is the only worthy candidate to be the next Santa. ..
Does Arthur Christmas have a happy ending?
As Arthur fulfils Santa’s incomplete task, both Steve and Malcolm realize their shortcomings. He expresses his love and pride for his sons. The entire family finds contentment as Arthur becomes Santa Claus XXI. Malcolm has become Grandsanta’s true companion post-retirement.
Steve is as busy and fired up as always as the COO of North Pole. Bryony has been promoted to Vice President of Wrapping. S-1 is rechristened EVIE to honour the original sleigh of Grandsanta.
