Chris Carver, feeling unfulfilled in his creative pursuits, is consumed by jealousy towards his neighbor Bruce, who is winning the local Christmas decoration competition. This rivalry sets the stage for Chris's journey during the festive season, filled with unexpected challenges and magical occurrences.

After being laid off from his corporate job, Chris is thrust into financial uncertainty. The pressure to provide for his family increases, making the prospect of winning a $100,000 grand prize from Prism Cable a crucial lifeline.

While shopping for decorations alongside his daughter Holly, Chris discovers a whimsical store named "Kringle's." Inside, they are enchanted by festive decorations, particularly a stunning tree-shaped zoetrope that plays 'The Twelve Days of Christmas,' a purchase that will soon alter their lives dramatically.

The day after their visit to Kringle's, the Carver's swimming pool transforms magically, filled with seven swans gracefully navigating the water. Initially believing Bruce is behind this spectacle, Chris begins to realize that there is more to the magic than he can comprehend.

As the bizarre happenings continue, Carol experiences an unforeseen attack at work by six geese laying eggs and three French hens. These events escalate the confusion and wonder surrounding the family's lives, blurring the line between reality and fantasy.

Chris and Holly stumble upon a hidden Christmas village inside Kringle's, where they meet a band of living glass figurines. Led by Pip, the group informs them of Pepper, the shopkeeper who is revealed to be an evil Christmas elf with a knack for manipulation.

With Christmas Eve approaching, Chris learns he must retrieve five golden rings from enchanted images or risk being turned into a figurine. Driven by love for his family, Chris and Holly embark on a daring adventure to reclaim the rings from turtledoves and French hens.

During Joy's track meet, chaos ensues as characters from 'The Twelve Days of Christmas' invade the scene. This chaotic twist complicates Chris's efforts to regain the rings while straining relationships within his family.

Recognizing the bizarre truth of their situation, Chris finally reveals everything to his family. Motivated by teamwork, they uncover that Pepper has also unknowingly found the fifth ring, inspiring the family to craft a clever plan to confront her.

In a bittersweet turn of events, Prism Cable reveals that the coveted $100,000 prize can only be redeemed for taco coupons. This revelation shifts the family's excitement to disappointment as they reassess their aspirations.

Just when it seems all hope is lost, Santa Claus arrives dramatically, whisking away Pepper and reminding Chris that they must collect a total of 40 rings related to the song 'The Twelve Days of Christmas.' This encounter reignites their determination.

As the Carver family races against time, Pepper unleashes more chaos by manipulating time itself. The stakes escalate when Chris is turned into a figurine, pushing them to recover the rings before it’s too late.

In an unexpected twist, Santa reveals that Chris and Carol’s wedding rings are made of gold, which brings their total ring count to 40. This revelation restores Chris to his human form and allows Holly to reverse the spell affecting the figurines.

On Christmas morning, the Carver family enjoys tacos together, having finally reconciled with Bruce's family. Pip, the living figurine, is welcomed into their home, enriching the warmth of their joyful celebration.

A year later, Pepper is magically transformed into a glass figurine by Santa, earning her reindeer poop-scooping privileges. Meanwhile, Chris embraces his entrepreneurial spirit by taking over Pepper's store, renaming it 'Chris Kringle's,' marking a new chapter in his life.
