A young, precocious Natalie Wood lives with her single mom Maureen O'Hara in NYC. Mom has convinced her that Santa is just a marketing tool, which is easily confirmed by the fact that she works at one of the big department stores. Well, the real Santa happens to get hired at the store and is determined to convince Natalie, and maybe mom, that he is real. First, he has to convince a court after he is put on trial for an insanity hearing! A Christmas classic, to be sure, but also contrived and Natalie can be annoying.
