The Christmas Chronicles 2: Plot and Cast
The plot of the first movie is about two young kids, Kate and Teddy, who see Santa Claus in their own house and jump inside his sleigh. They had earlier seen a mysterious hand and since Kate believed it was Santa, both the children decided to investigate. In the process, they flew in the sleigh along with Santa and the presents, but get into an unfortunate accident that causes them to lose all of the presents.
Santa asks the kids for assistance after he discovers he has lost his hat. Without his hat, he can neither get through tight spaces nor move as quickly. The children are reluctant at first, but decide to help him after he threatens to blacklist them. They proceed to go on an adventure of a lifetime.
Both kids also appear in the sequel. Darby Camp plays Kate Pierce while Judah Lewis plays Teddy Pierce. Kurt Russell plays Santa Claus while Goldie Hawn plays Mrs. Claus.
