Storyline

Willow Creek, Alaska, is going through a depression because the local cannery has shut down putting many of the residents out of work. Ray and Pete are truck-driving brothers, different as day and night, who are hired by an old friend to bring Christmas presents and one huge surprise from sunny California up to his home town. Along the way, the brothers and Pete's son Michael argue and get stuck in a blizzard, but finally reconcile with each other. Written by Jeff Olsen

Trivia

The 'Alaska' town where the movie was filmed was chosen specifically due to the fact that snow stayed on the ground there continuously during the winter months. Ironically just days before filming, the town experienced an unusual winter warming trend and all the snow melted. Snow machines then had to be brought in to restore the wintertime appearance.
