[door opens]
[sighs]
Huh!
What's that, Dad?
Check it out.
It's a frozen cookie. So what?
This is not any ordinary oatmeal cookie, Tommy.
Santa Claus bit into this cookie.
Santa Claus?
Yeah. Good old Saint Nick.
There's no such thing as Santa Claus.
Of course there's a Santa Claus.
When did you stop believing in Santa?
Since I grew up.
You're only 13.
I'm going to be 14 in four and a half months.
Besides, I'm going to be a detective someday,
and I live by facts and facts alone.
[laughs] What does that have to do with not believing in Santa Claus?
We get presents every year as proof.
That's not proof.
Well, you got that cookie.
And this cookie is almost 30 years old.
I wouldn't eat it if I were you.
That's right.
Now all we have to do is figure out who took a bite out of that cookie.
How do you do that?
I'm a detective, Suzie. I'll just send it to the lab.
What lab, silly?
Dad, don't they do DNA tests nowadays?
I think they do.
People find out their exact family heritage.
Can't Mom do it? Doesn't she do that with her patients?
Probably.
So we'll send it to her, and she'll prove that Santa Claus doesn't exist.
That is an excellent idea.
That's an excellent idea.
It certainly is.

Hey, guys. Who's this?
He's really cute.

It's almost Christmas. Come on.
He may not be here when we come back.

His fur. He looks a little rusty.
I like that.

No, guys, no.
We were just looking.
Please, Dad?
We'll take care of him and everything.
Right, Suzie?
Right.
No!
Come on, guys.
Hey, little guy.
You want to come home with us?
And this is the adoption form.
And this makes Rusty an official member of your family.
Now, as I mentioned, Rusty, um,
-does have a mild thyroid condition. -Okay.
It's not uncommon for dogs over the age of six.
And these are his tags, and he's had his vaccinations,
and he is now a member of your family.
Great. Well, consider this an early Christmas gift.
Thanks, Dad.
Happy Holidays.
Let's go, Rusty! You got a new home.
Absolutely no way.
You know I'm not a dog person.
I'm not allowing that fur ball in this house.
Come on, Mom. Look how cute he is.
Come on, Janice.
What gave you the insane idea to get them a dog for Christmas?
Come on, Mom. Please?
I said no.
Dinner's almost ready.
Oh whoa, whoa. What's this?
It's Dad's 30-year-old cookie.
We need you to run DNA tests on it to prove that there's no Santa.
We need a DN...[Nathan sighs]
You need to DNA it to prove to Tommy that Santa Claus is real.
Mm-hmm.
This your father's idea?
This is why we don't live together anymore.

I sit in the front seat.
[Janice] You'll both sit in the back seat.
Come on. Quit dawdling.
Quick. I gotta get to the hospital.
Suzie, have you got everything?
Mmm. [mutters]
[Suzie] Mom.
What, honey?
Why are you and Daddy not living together?
Oh, because we're not getting along right now.
Don't you like Daddy anymore?
I love your father,
but we are very different people.
How are you different?
Your father needs to grow up.
You mean he's gonna get bigger?[chuckles] No, sweetie.
He often plays the big kid,
and he needs to grow up and deal with the world around him.
My teacher said a person can be childlike without being childish.
What does that mean?
It means that an adult can still have
the wonder and appreciation of a child
without acting like a child.
Isn't that what Daddy is?
Hey, can Rusty come visit us?
The dog stays at your father's house.
Mmm.
Honey, I didn't grow up with any animals.
They are a big responsibility.
They shed, and they're dirty, and they poop everywhere.
Poop?[laughs]
I never understood why anyone would want that responsibility.
But isn't it worth the responsibility?
They can be our best friend. They can make us happy when we're sad.
Can't we trust them more than people?
Yes.
You are right about that.
Good night, sweetheart.
Sweet dreams, baby girl. Sleep tight.
[neighing]
The bird is cute, I guess,
but it's just a stuffed doll.
There are thousands,
hundreds of thousands of stuffed animals out there.
There's nothing to make this bird of yours really stand out.
Yes, Mr. Dougal, but he--
I'm sorry. Uh, Mr. Bosloy.
But he's unique. He's a dodo bird.
A dodo bird. They're-- they're extinct.
[sighs] I'm assuming this is...
an original design.
Yes. Yes! And I-- and I think that he could be the next big seller.
[horse neighing]
They're extinct,
except for Mister Dodo.
Except for Mister Dodo. Yay!
I don't see anything special about him.
He's cute,
but it's not something our toy company
would be interested in distributing at this time.
[neighing]
The kids, they love him.
Call me if you develop anything new.
Happy holidays, Mr. Woodshaven.
Haven.
White-- Whitehaven. Woodhall.
Sorry. I don't usually use briefcases. Okay.
Mmm.
[Janice] Come on, kids. Dad's waiting.
[Suzie] See you later, Mom.
Race you, Tommy! Out of my way!
Oh. Did you take your homework with you?
It's Christmas vacation, Mom. We don't have any homework.
You sure?
Yes.
Jan, give 'em a break. It's almost Christmas.
Merry Christmas. I'll pick the kids up Christmas Day.
But I was planning on taking them to the outdoor skating rink.
They have a real skating rink in California. Can you believe that?
I gave you Christmas Eve.
Daddy said he got me some skates. I wanna go skating.
There's no such thing as an outdoor skating rink in Santa Barbara.
Yes, there is, Mom.
Dad said it's like a hard plastic or something.
It's just like ice, but it doesn't melt.
Okay.
All right.
Come here, you. Rah!
[Tommy] Scoot over, Rusty.
Let's get out of here before Mom changes her mind.

Why is that, Daddy?
Where I grew up, we always had a white Christmas.
But it's too cold in Canada.
Yeah, but you've never built a snowman before.
I want a white Christmas next year.
Well, maybe next year, we could spend Christmas with Grandma.
We've never done that before.

Do you still love her?
I'll always love her.
Did she say anything about me?
Yeah. She says you need to grow up.
[laughs] She said that, did she?
Good night, you two. Santa's not gonna deliver any presents
until he knows you're asleep.
That's right, Suzie.
If you don't go to sleep right now,
Santa's gonna leave a lump of coal in your stocking
instead of presents.
No, he won't![Tommy] Cut it out!
I'm telling Santa you've been bad.
All right, that's enough, you two. It's time to go to bed.

You know that polar bears are actually endangered species?
Because the polar ice caps are melting all the time.

How did he get in my toy sack?
There's going to be a child or children somewhere in the world
who's going to be awfully upset with me.
How could I steal their family dog?
What kind of monster have I become?
Santa, it wasn't your fault.
We know that you didn't take the dog on purpose.
Yes, but does the family know Santa didn't mean to steal their dog?

Now,
we just have to find out exactly
what continent, what state, what city, and what house.
Eh. Yes, Ying?
That sounds impossible.
[stammers]
Y-Yes, it does seem impossible.
But nothing is impossible.
There's always a possible.

Hello out there. It's Windy, the weather girl,
reporting to you live from the North Pole.
According to NOAA,
the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration--
Now, folks, can you say that three times fast?
The weather at the North Pole today is a warm zero degrees
with a forecast of snow, snow, and snow.
We've got some more Santa sightings that NORAD sent us
from Santa's busy night on Christmas Eve.
It looks like Santa wasn't alone last night.
Looks like he had a furry little helper by his side.
That's Rusty. Suzie, quick. Look.
Wow, folks, could that be Santa's dog helping him out?
Santa stole Rusty!
No, someone that looks like Santa.
Santa stole our dog!
-Santa's not real! -Yes, he is!
...weather systems right now.
[anchor] Thanks, Windy.
And more news on the recent Santa sighting.
It appears that Santa... Now, you two, what's going on?
It's Rusty. He's on the news.
Rusty's on the TV.
What are you two talking about?
...NORAD above the California coast.
Santa stole Rusty!
Oh, honey, that's not Rusty.
Why would Rusty be with Santa?
Looks like someone dressed as Santa stole him or something.
That-- that is not Rusty.
Look! It's right there!
It is him. I know it's him.
...investigative research and learned
that this dog is actually a rare Kai Ken.
This breed is known for its brindle coloring,
sharp ears, curious eyes, and loyalty and devotion to its master.
Okay, that's a wrap.
Huh.
Thanks, Flame.
Oh, nice job, Snowflake. I mean, Windy the weather girl.
Thanks, Santa.
Now, hopefully, someone will recognize this little guy
and write me a letter letting me know.
Let's just wait and see.
[giggles]
[radio chatter]
Uh, can I help you?
We received a 911 call that Santa Claus stole the family dog.
Who?
Well, I didn't call anyone.
Dispatch received a call from someone named... Suzie.
I am so sorry, officers.
Has anyone seen your broadcast?
Do we know whose dog I supposedly stole?
No, but I think I've narrowed it down to the little doggie's origin.
Yes?
My research has determined that he's a rare Kai Ken from Japan.
Of course.
The sacred Kai Ken, also known as the Tiger Dog...
also referred to as the Tora dog.
He's Jewish?
You...
[giggles]
Tora, as in T.O.R.A.,
used as a Japanese code word for surprise,
as in, "Tora! Tora! Tora!"
By my research here,
I've determined that they are very, very rare
and most only found in Japan.
Uh... Japan still has a lot of chimneys.
Well, that narrows it down.
Mmm, but thank you, Snowflake.
You're welcome, Santa.
"Dear Santa, you stole my dog.
Please return him as soon as possible.
Thank you. P.S. I'm still a good girl."
So you will take my sleigh and look down every chimney in Japan.
Every chimney?All of Japan?
Every chimney, all of Japan.
I get to steer the sleigh!
No, I get to steer!
You shall look into every chimney
to see if there's a sad boy or girl missing their puppy.
And you will report back to me every hour.
Sounds like a great idea.
No, it doesn't.
When you find the right home, if you find the right home,
you will slide him down the chimney into the arms of his family once again.
Yes, Santa.Yes, Santa.
[barks]
Wait!
Mr. Letter Man!
Mr. Letter Man.
Mr. Letter Man, can you deliver this letter for me?
Aren't you a little late for Christmas?
I know Christmas is over,
but Santa has to get my letter.
Well, you know, the Post Office usually doesn't forward letters
to Santa Claus until next December.
I can't wait another year.
Santa stole our dog.
-Excuse me? -It's a long story.
Hmm.
[Janice] Suzie, get back in the house right now!
I'll see what I can do.
Can I borrow your pen?
This one? Sure.
Yay!Hey!
That's my pen!
I got his pen.
This is Justin Graham with KBMS.
I'm here with Suzie Whitehaven.
You have a pretty interesting story for us, don't you?
Santa stole my dog.
Santa-- What was your dog's name?
Rusty.
Santa, can you please return Rusty?
Where did you last see Rusty?
When it was Christmas Eve, Santa came, and he accidentally stole Rusty.
Oh, no.
Santa, all this little girl wants for her Christmas is her dog back.
Can you please bring Rusty back safe and sound? Thank you.

This is the last time you pull something like this.
Yeah, you've been a great sport about this.
Kids haven't seen their grandmother in almost three years.
Yeah, we miss Grandma.
Why does she have to live so far away?
Why can't she come here?
Because she's getting too old to travel.
Besides, the kids have never seen where I grew up.
Who wants to grow up in Alaska?
Did you live in an igloo?[Nathan] Yes.
I grew up in an igloo until I got central heating.
Are there polar bears and penguins?
Penguins live in the South Pole, not the North Pole.

Well, of course. Why wouldn't I?
I keep telling him Santa's real.
Of course he's real.
I came to visit you, Grandma.
Oh, Tommy, that's so sweet.
If Santa's real, then how can he visit
every single home in the world in one night?
Explain to me that, smarty-pants.
Mmm!
He can stop time.
[scoffs]
He stops the clocks...
Mm-hmm.
and then he goes to visit all the good little girls and boys.
And when he's all done, he starts the clocks up again.
It's not brain surgery, dork.
You need to get to the North Pole and get your little doggie back.
Yeah, Santa stole him.
Santa didn't steal our dog. Santa's not real.
Of course he's real.
Then why would he steal Rusty?
Because it was an accident.
Or he just wanted a special dog like Rusty.
Oh, I don't think he stole him, sweetie.
Santa doesn't take. He gives.
I agree with Grandma. I'm sure he didn't do it on purpose.
If it was an accident, then why hasn't he returned him yet?
Well, Santa visits over a billion homes.
I'm sure he doesn't know which one Rusty belongs to.
Okay, everybody, that's it.
Time to go to bed.
You have got a long trip ahead of you tomorrow.
Thanks again for letting us borrow your car, Mom.
Oh, sure. I don't drive it anymore anyway.

Oh, no problem. Haven't driven it in, like, three years.
Well, it was a great idea to have the battery disconnected.

It's so amazing.
Hey, we gotta make a quick stop, pick up a car seat for Suzie.
It's okay, Dad. I took care of it.
[muffled yelling]
Tommy!
Safety first.

Hi.
Good evening, folks. May I see your passports, please?
Yeah, sure.
There you go.
Daddy, why do we have to show our passports again?
We did that at the airport.
That was when we were going into Canada.
Now we're going back into the United States.
Alaska is in the United States?
Uh-huh.
Aren't we getting further away from the United States?
But how did Alaska get in the United States?
They made the same mistake with Hawaii.
We're gonna see Santa Claus.
Shh. Quiet, honey.
Oh, lots of people come through here to go see Santa.
Don't tell anybody, but I actually work for Mr. Claus.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.

[tires squeal]
[engine knocks]
You okay?Yeah.
-Are you all right? -I'm okay.
What was that?
Look.
Yeah, that's a real reindeer.
It is.
That's so cool.
[Suzie] Look, look!
Dad, did you see that?
What? What did you see?
-Yeah, what? -It just flew away.
It's one of Santa's reindeer. Maybe it was Planter or Blintzes.
You mean Blixen, and it didn't fly away.
No, really, it is.
-It just flew away. -[engine grinding]
Hey, cut it out, guys.
It's one of Santa's reindeers.
Hey, hey. Quiet. Quiet.
Car's not starting.
[sighs]
Where is the...
There we go.
Wow, it is cold out there.
All right. Battery cable was loose. I've got it secured,
but we still need a little part for it.
So, I think we're gonna have to go to a mechanic tomorrow, all right?
No! We'll never get to the North Pole in time to save Rusty.
No, honey, it's okay.
[Tommy] It's okay, Suzie.
All right, let's get out of here.
This hot chocolate is so good.
Look, this is what we're gonna do.
We're gonna find a local mechanic,
have him look over the car, and we're gonna get that window fixed.
Need to find Santa, Daddy, and save Rusty.
He needs his medication.
Don't worry, honey. We will. We'll ask around.
We'll find out where Santa's workshop is.
[gasps] I forgot Mister Dodo in the car!
[chuckles] He'll be fine. He's probably taking a nap.
I couldn't help but overhear. I heard you're looking for the big man.
Excuse me?
You know, the jolly guy, Santa? Saint Nick? Kristopher Kringle?
Are you telling me that you believe in him, too?
Don't listen to him. He's just my stupid brother.
You think we're all nuts.
I know the big man, you know, Mr. Ho ho ho!
Cool.Come on, Dad.
Let's just get our window fixed and be on our way.
No. Hold on a second, Tommy.
How do we know that you're not trying to pull a fast one over us?
I'm not asking for anything, except a ride.
There it is! I knew he was gonna ask for something.
Come on, Dad. Let's go.Wait a second, Tommy.
I want to hear this.
I want to hear this, too.
Please, I really need a ride.Where are your parents?
I'm a grown elf. I'm on my own.
Dude, you're my age.
I'm almost 300 years old, sonny.
You look really good for your age.
Thank you.
So what you're saying is that this is not the real North Pole?
Well, this is North Pole, Alaska.
It's for the tourists who think they're going to see Santa.
You made the same mistake. Happens every day.
Boy, did we make a mistake.
Okay, Dad, he's playing with us. Let's go.
Hold on a second.
I want to hear this.
Uh, so you're just asking for us for a lift to the North Pole?
Why the-- why the North Pole?
Because I work for the old man,
and I missed my ride before Christmas Eve, and I have to get back.
Okay, look, we-- we couldn't--
couldn't drive there anyways.
It's all Arctic Ocean and ice.
Yeah. That's why you need me.
I suppose you're gonna tell us you're an elf, too.
I would, but you wouldn't believe me.
I believe you.
Let's go, kids.Hey, hey!
Yeah, Elroy.[car alarm blaring]
[Tommy] Dad?
Someone's getting stuff out of our car! We gotta go!
[thief yelling]Oh, no. Our passports are in there.
Hey, get back here.
Santa stole Mister Dodo.
[police dispatch chatter]
And he had a fake beard.
Little beady eyes.
I think he was sad.
Here you go, officer. I filled out the police report.
Very good. If we get some leads, we'll give you a call.
In the meantime, if you could hang around town for a few days.
It's a small town. You never know.
Well, we don't have passports, so we can't go far.
Could we see a sketch?
Yeah, that's him.
[Tommy] Definitely.
Daddy, we need to find Santa and save Rusty...
and now Mister Dodo.
They're not the same Santa.
How many Santas are there?
I could have dusted for fingerprints, but he was wearing gloves.
See? It was Santa.
Guys,
I think we've come to the end of the road.
You mean the road ended?
No.He means he's come to his senses.
Whoever stole Rusty was just a Santa Claus
just like the fake Santa Claus who stole our stuff.
I think your brother's right.
You mean...
you don't believe in Santa anymore?
Honey, I'm not saying that.
I'm-- I'm just trying to tell you that--
You again?
Tommy, be nice.
Whatever.Hey, sorry about your stuff.
I gotta show you something.
Well, how did you--
[laughs][Suzie] That's magic!
That was cool.
Now...
does this look familiar?
Nope.Mm-mmm.
Can I see that?
What does it say, honey?It's my letter to Santa.
Let me see that.
It's your letter to Santa
saying he stole your dog.
It's addressed to Santa, not you!
It's a-- it's a trick.
How did you do that?
Well, I'm in charge of all the letters
sent to Santa in the North Pole, Alaska.
I already told you that this isn't the real North Pole,
but most kids send their mail here.
You better get this letter to Santa right now!
That's the problem. I can't.
Why not?
Well, because I'm stuck here. I lost my magnet to the North Pole.
A magnet?
A magnet? Really?
Yes. A magic magnet that guides me back to the magnetic North Pole.
Without it, finding Santa's workshop is virtually impossible.
I guess you could say that it gives me my magnetic personality.
I was hoping maybe if you gave me a ride,
that we could figure a way across the ocean and ice.
So you wanted us to drive you there
when you still didn't have your magnet?
You're contradicting yourself!
We can't believe anything you're saying.
[cell phone ringing]
Hello.
Who is it?
We believe these were your possessions that were in the vehicle.
This is great. Thank you so much.
[Tommy] Thank you.
Oh, hey, look. Our passports.
What's this? This isn't ours.
It was in with your stuff.
Hey, isn't that Elroy's magnet?
No way it could be.
It couldn't be. It looks like a cheap kid's toy.
Hah! Look. Mister Dodo.
There's a switch on it.
[whirs]
Whoa! Get these off!
[yells][alarm blaring]
Thanks again for the magnet. Told you someone stole it.
The police found it with our stuff.
It looks like it's time to get back to California, guys.
Yep.[Elroy] Wait!
Aren't you going to the North Pole?
Yeah, Daddy, what about Rusty?
Honey, Rusty's not in the North Pole.
Yes, he is. Santa took him by mistake.
No, Suzie, he's not.
Somebody who was dressed as Santa, just like the man
who stole our luggage and Mister Dodo, stole Rusty.
I'm sure that Rusty's back in our hometown somewhere.
No! We have to save Rusty!
-Come on, Suzie. -Wait. Open it.
-This is a present for me? -Yeah.
Oh, God.[chuckles]
It's empty.
Let's go. Thanks.
You didn't open it right.
Now open it.
Okay.
How did you do that?
[Nathan] What's this?
They're virtual-reality glasses, Dad.
You're such a geek.
Don't call Daddy a geek.
Yeah, you're a geek.
So immature.[chuckles]
Uh, I don't see anything.
Well, they're not actually virtual-reality glasses.
They're reality glasses without the virtual.
What are you talking about?
Yeah, what are you talking about?
Whoa, whoa, wait.
I see a light now.
[Elroy] Everyone be quiet. He needs to see something.
[playing tune haltingly]
[ticking]
[chuckles]
What's going on, Dad?
[Nathan chuckles]
[sighs]What are you doing?
Are you okay, Daddy?
[laughs]
[man snickers]
Hello, son.
Santa?
How are you, Nathan?
It's not Christmas. What are you doing here?
Well, you're having a dilemma as an adult.
As an adult?
Mm-hmm. I had to come back and see you.
See, Nathan, I can play with time...
space.
You can time travel?
How do you think I deliver toys all over the world in one night?
Just one night!
Magic?
Well, magic with a little time travel stirred in.
I can also go back in time, too.
Whttt!
You've come back in time to see me?
Yep. Your adult self needs me to have a talk with his inner child.
Inner child?
Well, every adult has been a child.
They never lose that.
Many cover it up, many forget, but the inner child is still in everyone.
So what can I do?
Well, when you grow up, you stop believing in me.
I would never stop believing in you.
Yeah, well, as an adult, you're doubting me as we speak.
What do you think of that?
You're starting to question whether I really exist.
But-- but why would I ever stop believing in you?
Because when you grow up, you're dealing with life,
and life throws things at you.
Phew! Curveballs.
Sometimes life is not a bowl of cherries as we'd hoped.
Sometimes people stop believing,
stop believing in the magic.
But I don't want to stop believing.
That's why I'm here, Nathan,
to make sure you never stop believing.
As long as you believe in your heart
and you believe in me and the magic of Christmas,
the magic will stay with you, and it'll be Christmas all year round.
Now here's a little something.
What's this?
To remind you to keep believing.
Ah, ha.
[ticking]
Santa?
Are you feeling okay?
What are you seeing in there?
You okay?
What's that?
[cell phone ringing]
You okay, Dad?
Hello.
Yeah, sure.
Okay. We'll be there in a minute.
We have to go. Um...
the police found a, uh-- a suspect they want us to identify.
But don't you want to go to the North Pole?
I can, now that I have my magic magnet.
No. Thank you.
It was, uh-- It was nice to meet you, Leroy.
It's Elroy.
Come on, Suzie.
No, Daddy. No!
Wait. Are you sure you don't want to go to the North Pole?
Bye, Elroy.
You still do not believe I'm an elf, do you?
Are you sure you don't want me to take you to the North Pole?
We need to make arrangements to get back to California.
We're just gonna have to wait for Santa to visit next winter.
Thank you, but we're--
Where did he go?
Looking for me?
Over here.
Do you believe me now?
[Suzie] See? He is an elf. Cool.
[man] Face left.
Face right.
Face the wall.
That's him right there, right?
-Number three? -Number three.
[Tommy] Third one to the right.
Should have known it was Kyle.
He's the town kleptomaniac.
What's a kleptomaniac?
I didn't do it!
It's someone who has an incredible urge to steal things.
I'm innocent!
[man] Exit to your right.
Okay, we'll stop somewhere, honey.
Hey!
Thank you for not pressing charges.
[Suzie] Look. A reindeer.
I'm Kyle.
The officer told us how you saved that family when their Christmas tree caught fire.
It was nothing.
Hey, I hear you're going to the North Pole to see the real Santa?
Can I come with?
Merry Christmas, Kyle.
Mmm.
Kids, we gotta get going.
Look out!Hey!
-Dad! -Suzie!
-Look out for the car! -Suzie!
[car horn honks][Suzie screams]
Suzie!
Are you all right? You scared me.[Suzie] Yeah.
Suzie!
Thanks, Kyle.
Suzie, you almost got hit.
You could have gotten seriously hurt.
I'm sorry.
I'm glad you're okay.
What did Daddy tell you about crossing the road?
Don't do that again.
[Tommy] You should have waited for Dad.
-You almost got hit. -Sorry, Daddy.
[groans]
Thank you.
You're welcome.
I did a bad thing.
Yes, you did.
Well, I guess I'll go now.
[Suzie] Can Kyle come with us?
Please, Daddy? Please?
Okay. Kyle...
you can come.
-Wow! -But you can't sit in the front.
I'll sit in the back with the kids. [laughs]
[Kyle] Hoo hoo!No!
This isn't the first time I've ridden in a trunk.
Can I at least have a magazine?
Yeah.
Wait, wait, wait, wait!
Unlike the fridge, the light does stay on.
That's good.Wait, wait, wait, wait!
Where'd you get this watch?
You like it?
Yeah. It's my watch!
Give it back.
Hurry up!Sorry.
Come on.
Thank you.
Stay out of my luggage.
Now if you follow my exact instructions,
we'll be at the North Pole before you know it.
[Kyle] What did he say?[Nathan] Thanks for fixing the window.
[Kyle] Ow!
Ow!
Shh. Quiet! We're coming up on the Border Patrol.
I can handle them.
You know, once I went to the Border Patrol in Canada,
and I-- Hey! That's not funny! It's dark in here!
Stay quiet. Quiet. Hey, guys.
[speaking Russian]
Hi.
Where are you headed?
Uh...
Arctic Circle and North Pole, sir.
I didn't know the North Pole was another country.
We own North Pole.
Ah, the Russians own the North Pole?
North Pole, Arctic Ocean
are in Russia territory.
[Tommy] It says that...
the Canadians and the Finnish also claim it.
Huh.
Wrong. Only Russian territory.
Only our territory. We have flag.
Where's the flag?
Bottom ocean under North Pole.
We're gonna see Santa Claus!
Shh!
That's why most people come through here.
No other reason.
You don't want to live there.
Why?
Passports, please.
[speaking Russian]
Yeah, sure.
Here you go, sir.
[Suzie] What's he doing, Daddy?
Thank you.Thank you.
Have a good day.[officer] Spasiba.
Don't you need to see Kyle's and Elroy's passports?
Um... [chuckles]
Who Elroy and Kyle?
Her imagination.
[chuckles]
Elroy's in the glove compartment,
and Kyle's in the trunk.
[both laugh]
Her imaginary friends.
[chuckles]
[speaking Russian]
You may go.
Say hello to Santa for me, please.
We will.
Bye.
Hmm.
Look at that.
It's amazing.
[Nathan] Pretty cool. You don't see that in Santa Barbara.
[Suzie] Pretty cool.
Yeah, it's snowing, all right.
[Suzie] Can you see where you're going, Daddy?
It'’s okay. I can see all right.
["Silent Night" playing]
The brakes are shot.
Brakes are shot!
What does that mean?
Means we can't stop.
I told you we should have seen a mechanic.
No. I can't stop the car!
Elroy!
Elroy!Elroy!
[screaming]Elroy!
-Elroy! -Elroy, Come on!
-Elroy! -Elroy!
Suzie, it's okay!
Elroy!
♪ ...virgin mother and child♪[screaming]
♪ Holy infant♪
Brace yourself!
♪ So tender and mild♪
[screaming]
♪ Sleep in heav--♪
[gasps]
Suzie! Open your eyes. Look.
[laughing]
[Kyle] Suzie, what do you see?
We're flying!
All just part of the plan.
[Suzie] Thanks, Elroy.
[Kyle] We're flying?
I'm scared of heights!
Wow.
["Deck the Halls" instrumental playing over P.A.]
Karen.
Yes?
What do you make of that?
The DNA is showing chromosomes from all races.
According to this chart, the DNA is over 1,000 years old.
A 1,000 years old?
Yes. A 1,000 years old.
That can't be right.
There has to be a mistake somewhere.
Thank you.You're welcome.
I did not sign up for this.
Leroy, we're in the middle of nowhere.
It's Elroy.
[Nathan shivering] Yes.
[Suzie] Where'd he go?
Where did he go?
There's nothing here but a stupid snowman.
I am not stupid.
As a matter of fact, I'm extremely intelligent.
A talking--Did you know
that the square root of 3,558 is 59.6...
[stammers] 6...
[sneezes]
Bless you.
Bless you?
Bless you.
Thank you.
Do you have a cold?
I'm a snowman. I've always got a cold.
I love sno-cones.[Suzie] Me, too.
Daddy, what's happening?
[Kyle] Hello! What's this-- Now what's-- what's that?
Wow.[Kyle] Whoa.
Ah...
[chuckling]
[laughs]
[Suzie] Wow!
Welcome to the North Pole,
the land of Christmas wishes and candy cane kisses.
You just missed Santa.
In fact, he's gone to return your dog, and he'll be back soon.
[blows kazoo]
California's not that far for Santa and his sleigh.
Lickety-split and he'll be back in a bit.
Lickety-split, he'll be back in a bit!
Do you like living here where it's Christmas all year long, Mrs. Claus?
Oh, yes, Tommy, and you can call me Carole.
Would you like more hot chocolate?
Yes, please, Christmas Carole.
[Carole] I'm sure you're looking forward to meeting Santa.
Oh, you know, you're all here. I hope there's somebody at home.
[Nathan] Oh, no.
[rustling]
[gasps]
[shrieks]
Now, now, now, now, don't get excited!
Calm down. Calm down, please. Please.
I-- I'm returning your dog. I took him by mistake.
I accidentally took him in my bag,
and I-- I had no idea that he was there until I got to the Pole.
I don't know how to explain it, but relax.
Are you okay, Kyle?
I'm okay, Suzie.
Thanks again for saving me from that car.
That was nothing.
Kyle, why do you cover up, even your hands?
Oh, I like to be like Santa Claus.
No, really, why?
Well...
no one really wants to see me. I'm...
hideous.
No, you're not.
Is it because you got burned saving that family?
You should be proud. You saved a family.
But I got scars.
Those are proof you're a hero.
What happened?
You really want to know?
[sighs]
Well...
it was a very cold Christmas Eve about five years ago,
and I had just bought my wife a nice beautiful necklace.
She was--
Ahem.
So...
then I hear screaming,
and I-- I look up,
and I see smoke coming out of a second-floor apartment.
I go running up the stairs. I wasn't even thinking.
And there the living room is completely engulfed in flames.
The Christmas tree is ablaze.
The ceiling has got fire lapping all the way across it.
And I run in. I find the family. I get 'em out,
and it's then we realize that the daughter's not there.
The daughter was still inside.
So I go back in.
I find her. I pull her out just as the Christmas tree falls,
and then I'm on fire.
I had third-degree burns over 70% of my body.
I was in the hospital for three months. I almost didn't make it.
So you wear the Santa suit to cover up your burns?
It's like people showing off their tattoos.
You should be proud.
These are skin grafts
from parts of my body that weren't burned.
I think these are my legs.
They don't look that bad.
Yeah, but now when my butt itches,
I scratch my forehead.
[Kyle laughs]
[bell rings]
Suzie!
Santa!
Hello, Suzie!
Oh, I'm so sorry for the mix-up with your dog.
I didn't mean to steal him.I forgive you.
Thank you, Suzie. That means a lot to me.
And you're looking good, Nathan.
Hi.And Tommy.
My goodness.
I bet you're chasing off the girls now, aren't you?
[laughs]
And Kyle, Kyle.
You haven't changed a bit.
Suzie, can I see your dodo for a minute?
You'll give him back, right?
Oh...
I'll give him back, certainly.
[laughs]
Let's see now.
Let's see.
So your daddy designed him, huh?
Yeah.
I love Mister Dodo.
You got something here, Nathan.
Thanks, Santa.
But he's missing something.
-Yeah. -I've got an idea.
This just might bring him over the top.
Leroy!
[laughs]
It's Elroy. What's up, boss?
Uh, well, uh, you're still in charge of the electronic chip department?
Sure am.Well, I, uh, I've got an assignment for you.
[indistinct whispering]
[Santa] Okay.
Be patient. Be patient.
He'll return shortly.
[Nathan] That was fast.
Thank you.
All right, here you go, Suzie.
Ask Mister Dodo...
-a question. -A question?
What kind of question?
Well, any-- any question you want.
Mister Dodo, where is the North Pole located?
There are actually two North Poles.
One is the North Pole, Alaska,
and the other North Pole, often associated with Santa's workshop,
is located in the middle of the Arctic Ocean.
[Nathan] Wow.
I knew that.
Of course you did. You're no dodo.
[chuckles]
You made him into an interactive educational toy for children?
-That's so cool. -Yeah.
That's brilliant.
I only enhanced your creative creation.
-Hmm. -[Santa] Yeah.
Mister Dodo, how far is the North Pole in the Arctic region from California?
The middle of the Arctic Ocean to the northern state line of California
is approximately 5,623 miles
or 9,049.3 kilometers.
That's amazing.
[laughs]
-Thank you, Mister Dodo. -You're welcome.
[laughs]
I love it.
Now you are no longer a dodo.
[laughing]
He called you a dodo.
[rumbling]
Whoa! What's that?Whoa!
Well...
What was that?
Happening a lot lately.
Little tremors.
Earthquakes in the North Pole?
Not earthquakes.
They're tremors from the ice caps melting here in the North Pole.
[Suzie] Why are they melting?
[Mister Dodo] One day, the North Pole will eventually be ice-free
from the Arctic ice shrinking due to climate changes,
often referred to as global warming.
Yes, the Dodo's absolutely right.
That's awful.
Ice-quakes. I-I've heard of those.
If this continues, eventually my workshop, my elves, and I
will fall into the Arctic Ocean and be swept away forever.
If this were to happen,
who would bring presents to all the good boys and girls?
Heh.
Christmas would cease to exist.
We can't let that happen. I'll help stop it, Santa.
Well, when you get home, you need to spread the word.
You need to let people know.
Will you do that for me, Suzie?
Yes, Santa, I promise.
You're a good girl, Suzie.
I know. You've always been on my good list.
[Kyle] You're a good girl.
[laughter]
[overlapping chatter]
[whistle blows]
For continuing to believe in me and the magic
and for being a good father to both Tommy and Suzie,
I award you this medal.
Wow.
Ah, "Good Boy!" [laughs]
Thank you.
For being a good son and a good brother...
[Nathan] Tommy.
...and for helping your father in his journey to rescue your dog, Rusty,
I award you this medallion.
Thanks, Santa.
Cool.
And...
now to my little Suzie.
For your courage,
bravery,
and keeping your father and brother in check,
I present you with this highest honor from the North Pole.
"Good Girl!"
[Kyle] Good girl. Ha ha. Good girl.
[Nathan] Good way to go, Suzie.
I promise not to let you down.
I'll spread the word for everyone to stop global warming.
I promise your home will not melt into the ocean.
Ah! Ho ho ho ho!
Thank you, Suzie!
I know I can count on you.
And now to Kyle.
Kyle, Kyle, Kyle, Kyle, Kyle, Kyle, Kyle.
Kyle.
[Suzie] Kyle, Kyle, Kyle.
[Nathan] Your turn, Kyle.
For your bravery...
in rescuing an innocent family
from their burning home...
[chuckles]
...after their Christmas tree accidentally caught on fire,
I award you this medallion.
[laughs] It says, "Good Boy!"
[Suzie] Good boy, Kyle.
And for your actions in stealing this wonderful family's luggage,
taking Elroy's North Pole magnet
and anything else that's not glued down...
[Suzie] Yeah, not glued down.
...I award you this second honor.
[Suzie] Way to go, Kyle!
[laughs] It says, "Bad Boy!"
[Suzie] Bad boy, Kyle.
I'm not finished with you yet, Kyle.
And for your unique devotion to me...
and the spirit of Christmas--
Where, um-- Oh.
Thank you, Elfis. [mumbling] Thank you very much.
[Suzie] Thank you, Elfis.
I award you the honor
of Santa of the Bad Girls and Boys.
[Suzie] wow!
You shall now have the job of visiting
bad girls and boys all over the world
and leaving a lump of coal in their stockings.
This will allow me to be more efficient in my time
visiting all the good boys and girls
-who deserve presents. -[Suzie] I deserve presents.
Does this mean I get my own sleigh and reindeer?
You'll get your own toboggan sled and donkeys.
[Suzie] Donkeys?[Donkey brays]
Thank you so much, Santa.
I promise, I won't let you down.
Ah, congratulations to you all!
