The story begins when Santa's magical gift bag is stolen by one of his own elves, played by Awkwafina. Desperate to get it back, Santa turns to his naughty list and recruits Vance, played by Ritchson, for help. Vance may have left his career as a professional thief behind, but when Santa shows up at his door, he joins forces with his daughter, Santa and a band of elves to pull off the biggest heist of his life—and save Christmas.
