THE MISSION SYNOPSIS
Santa and Silicon Valley Tech CEO's have a lot in common. Think about it…they 1) the must create the newest, hottest “thing” every year for their fans; 2) both operate under extreme pressure and tight deadlines; 3) they have legions of hard-core fans; and 4) metrics and data drive their operations.
But when an accident destroys the North Pole Workshop just 3 days before Christmas, Santa faces disaster: his unionized elves stage a walkout in protest.
There aren’t enough toys completed to deliver, no one to make them, and he’s on the clock.
Meanwhile, tech tycoon Sonny Yu is aiming to “disrupt” Christmas and put Santa out of business at the same time with his “Click-Mas” delivery drones in an operation he calls “XMAS AI.” To Sonny, it’s all about the clicks, hashtags, and having “Click-mas” every day of the year.
Santa decides the only way Christmas is going to be saved this year: he must break into Sonny’s warehouse and steal the toys he needs to complete his delivery list.
Meanwhile, Space Force Colonel Ann DeLuca is determined to find out if Santa is real. On Christmas Eve for the first time in 60 years, the digital blip they call the “Winter Ghost” is nowhere to be found on any radar.
Nick must assemble a Black-Ops squad of rogue elves and one wild reindeer from the “Permanently Naughty List” if he has any chance of delivering any kind of Christmas.
This is Probable Claus. This Year, He Has To Steal Christmas To Save It.
