Nicholas is the new Santa Claus – with a gigantic toy factory to manage and billions of presents to make, it’s a huge responsibility for a seven year-old boy! Too huge, in fact, and he comes down with a case of “grownupallosis”, a disease in children who want to grow up too soon. When it strikes a Santa Claus, grownupallosis is deadly – it infects the toys and spread around the world, putting the very spirit of Christmas in danger! The Council or Retired Santas is obliged to suspend Nicholas and nominate a substitute Santa to manage the factory. To get his job back, Nicholas will have to find the light-heartedness, inspiration and carefree fun of the childhood he’s lost...
