There aren't as many good traditional Christmas movies as people think, but this one is a topper for the season and would be loved by everyone as it has something for everyone.

Superstar comedian and Golden Globe(R) winner Tim Allen shines bright in Disney's magical, larger-than-life hit comedy that "People" magazine dubbed "The most playfully amusing, inventive cinematic ... fable in several decades."

Now in this all-new special edition DVD release, your entire family can enjoy never-before-seen bonus footage, interactive games, and more, making this original holiday classic a joyful new experience.

The synopsis of the plot is that Scot Calvin (Tim Allen) is an executive at a toy company, divorced with a young son who is doing well, but has kind of lost his way when it comes to the spirit of Christmas. On Christmas Eve his son wakes him because of a racket outside and they discover Santa on the roof. Startled, Santa takes a tumble off and after Scot puts on the coat and hat the adventure begins as he takes the reigns as the new Santa. The movie itself is fun, cute, and of course... just the right one for kids. Adults too would enjoy this as its suitable for all ages, but the target audience is absolutely kids. This is a great Christmas movie. And even though a portion of this movie takes place out of the festive season it is still very very Christmassy.

This is by far one of the best Christmas movie. This is a heartwarming film that would leave you a little teary-eyed by the end. It's a story of self-discovery and realising what is most important in life; perfect for the festive season.
