In de eerste helft van de film zien we hoe de Kerstman honderden jaren geleden het eeuwige leven kreeg, en de uitverkorene werd om alle kinderen ter wereld cadeaus te brengen. In de tweede helft van de film zien we hoe Patch aan de Kerstman wil bewijzen dat hij een goede elf kan zijn. Hij gaat in zee met een kwaadaardige speelgoedfabrikant die er op uit is om de Kerstman uit de markt te drukken.
Nee, helaas is Santa Claus: The Movie nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
