The year Santa Claus became sick, he decided he would simply skip Christmas because no one believed in him anymore. But Mrs. Claus hatched a plan to send Jingle and Jangle, two of Santa’s top elves, to Southtown, USA where it never snowed, to prove children still believed in him.

Along the way, they encounter Mother Nature’s two sons, Heat Meiser and Snow Meiser, and must work together to bring snow to Southtown for the first time and reinforce a belief in Santa.
