Storyline

It's turning out to be a pretty rotten Christmas for the Saunders family. Having just moved to a new city from Los Angeles, they have no friends, no money and, with the exception of the bright-eyed Mary, no Christmas spirit. To make matters worse, their mother is stuck in L.A., stranded by airline overbookings. So, the Christmas shopping duties fall on Dad and the gloomy kids. Things start looking a bit more like Christmas when 12-year old Brian and 6-year old Mary find a satchel of money at the local mall and they launch a Yuletide shopping spree...that is, until the crooks who counterfeited the money chase them through the mall packed with holiday shoppers. Written by James Orr

Did You Know?

Trivia

The movie was filmed after Christmas was long over, to avoid the busy shopping season. The length of time the decorations in the mall were left prompted local residents to wonder why they were still there. A local news program even inquired into the reason the decorations remained. Not long after, the filming of 'Christmas in Wonderland' was announced. See more »

Goofs

Revealing mistakes: When the family approaches the West Edmonton Mall a situating shot shows traffic passing by the mall in the street. A cyclist is clearly seen in summer riding gear. Though care is taken to establish that there "will be no snow for Christmas", it would definitely still be far too cold in Edmonton on Christmas Eve for cycling in shorts. See more »
