Northpole, the magical home to Santa (Robert Wagner) and Mrs. Claus (Jill St. John), has grown into a huge city powered by the magic of holiday happiness around the world. Yet as people everywhere get too busy to enjoy festive time together, the city is in trouble. Who can help save the cherished traditions of Christmas? One young boy, Kevin (Max Charles), might have a chance if he can convince his protective mother, Chelsea (Tiffani Thiessen), to rediscover the magic of the season. With a little added help from Kevin's charming teacher Ryan (Josh Hopkins), a mysterious elf-like girl Clementine (Bailee Madison) and a gospel singer named Josephine (Candice Glover), Kevin is determined to bring his mom in on the fun and prove that one small voice can change the hearts of many.

Santa (Donovan Scott) sends Clementine to save Christmas again by ensuring that new owner of Vermont's Northern Lights Mountain Inn, Mackenzie Warren (Lori Loughlin) not only renovates and keep the Inn open, but that she regain her true spirit of life and Christmas in the process, the first step being to hold the Christmas Eve party. Clementine finds some unexpected help from locals as Mackenzie begins seeing life from a new point of view as she meets the handsome Ian Hanover (Dermot Mulroney).

Reception

Brian Lowry of Variety wrote, "Sweet and inoffensive, one needn't be a complete Grinch to wish the festive doings contained a little more spice and less saccharine."^[2] Mary McNamara of the Los Angeles Times wrote, "Northpole may be a cookie-cutter take on Christmas, but it's one with high-quality ingredients."^[3] Matt Roush of TV Guide wrote, "It's all very traditional, conventional, satisfying for those who like their schmaltz as concentrated as a double espresso".^[4]
