All is not well in the North Pole. An oil company risks ending Christmas forever by using dynamite in the Arctic to find drilling sites. Santa Claus (Art Carney) marshals his elves in an effort to appeal to corporate executive Michael Baldwin (Paul Le Mat) ; his environmentally attuned wife, Claudia (Jaclyn Smith) ; and, of course, their gift-loving children. A trip to Santa's workshop, guided by the bearded one himself, just might be needed to save the day!

    The Night They Saved Christmas is a whimsical and enchanting family film that's full of Christmas spirit. When Santa's workshop is in danger of being destroyed by an oil company dynamiting in the Arctic, Santa tries to convince the site director to stop the drilling by giving his family a tour of his workshops at North Pole City. Jaclyn Smith and Art Carney lead the cast and deliver excellent performances. The story is well-written, with interesting characters and an intriguing Santa Claus mythology. Additionally, the set designs are quite elaborate and imaginative. Heartwarming and magical, The Night They Saved Christmas is a fun holiday adventure.
