Storyline
Frank Cross runs a US TV station which is planning a live adaptation of Dickens' Christmas Carol. Frank's childhood wasn't a particularly pleasant one, and so he doesn't really appreciate the Christmas spirit. With the help of the ghosts of Christmas past, present and future, Frank realises he must change. Written by Rob Hartill

Trivia
When The Ghost of Christmas Present first appears in the movie, she says to Frank Cross, "I'm a little muddled." This is a direct quote from Glenda the Good Witch in The Wizard of Oz when she first meets Dorothy in Munchkinland. See more »Goofs
Revealing mistakes: During the broadcast of A Christmas Carol, Scrooge (Buddy Hacket) tosses a coin to a boy so he can buy a Christmas goose. The shot seen in the control room monitor shows the coin falling in slow motion. Since the show is being broadcast live, it could only be shown falling at normal speed. See more »Quotes
