What Is Help for the Holidays About?

The premise of Help for the Holidays without spoilers.

Although she loves Christmas, Santa’s elf Christine (Summer Glau) questions if there could be more to life than toy-making in the North Pole. When Santa receives a special wish from a little boy in Los Angeles, he assigns Christine a mission to bring the VanCamp family—Sara, Scott, and their two children—a holiday reminder. She must help them rediscover the true meaning of Christmas, or risk being sent back to the North Pole.
