Describes the life of Santa Claus from birth through old age and into immortality.

Santa Claus changes many things about himself, including his diet, clothes, and means of transportation, in an attempt to become a new, improved Santa.

When he and his caravan come crashing down to earth during a thunderstorm two weeks before Christmas, Santa is befriended by two children, Charlotte and Ben, who try to help him save the holiday from the tricks and moneymaking schemes of Gerold GeronimusGoblynch and to take off in time for his annual rounds.

When a snowstorm threatens to stop Santa Claus from delivering Christmas presents, Rudolph the reindeer and his shiny red nose save the day.

An invitation to Santa Claus to join the bunnies for a Christmas party brings their Uncle Jack instead, but he comes with toys and Santa whiskers.

After taking a walk on Christmas Eve while their freshly baked gingerbread cools, Papa, Mama, and Baby Bear arrive home to encounter another "trespasser," who does not have golden hair but wears a red suit and leaves presents.

Although it is his favorite night of the year, Santa Claus tries very hard not to wake the children of the world as he makes his deliveries on Christmas Eve.
