Plot Summary

When Santa sets off on his Christmas duties a day early, crashes into the Fox family's house, ends up with amnesia, and loses his magic sack of presents, he needs help. But the Foxes are a modern and broken family. Can they help him? The parents are preoccupied with work and the kids aren't very festive. But it's up to them to help Santa find his magical bag of toys or Christmas will be ruined--and the clock is ticking. Forced to set their own problems aside and work together, the Fox family rediscover how much they enjoy being together and realize that they might need to reprioritize their lives. "The Night Before The Night Before Christmas" is a crazy Christmas fantasy for all the family, brimming with festive spirit. Written by Anonymous

Goofs When Santa is first ready to take off, Nigel tells him to start his flight in New Zealand, in the easternmost time zones, and work his way west as the time zones progress. That notion is discarded for the rest of the movie as Santa spends Christmas Eve in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Nigel, Santa, and the Foxes work on the premise that they need to get everything ready for Santa by midnight Central Standard Time (in Milwaukee), while Christmas Day is already almost over in places like New Zealand.
