When young Buddy falls into Santa's gift sack on Christmas Eve, he's transported back to the North Pole and raised as a toy-making elf by Santa's helpers. But as he grows into adulthood, he can't shake the nagging feeling that he doesn't belong. Buddy vows to visit Manhattan and find his real dad, a workaholic.
A wide-eyed, candy-obsessed elf trades the North Pole for the cold reality of Manhattan to find his long-lost father. This chaotic fish-out-of-water comedy finds pure joy in the collision between holiday magic and corporate cynicism.
