The modern world of global warming and fierce storm systems is a risky one for Santa's annual flight. When he returns with his sleigh totaled from the battering, the elf community embarks on an ambitious plan to build a modern, high-tech sleigh able to withstand the worldwide dangers. For young Scooter, a young-at-heart mechanic with dreams of founding his own engineering firm, it's the opportunity of a lifetime. But for Haggen, the old chief herdsman, the new reindeer-less sleigh represents an end to a cherished role in Santa's mission. Will the elves be able to find a common solution and achieve their Christmas Eve deadline, or will Santa be stranded without a functional sleigh?
