The events culminate in a Christmas celebration that reinforces themes of warmth and family.

The story unfolds in the Christmas-influenced town of Kriss, Massachusetts, with scenes shifting between the cozy Jollimore family home and a festive drive-in theater. Kriss serves as the focal point for Casper’s interactions with the Jollimore family and the Ghostly Trio, all under a holiday atmosphere. The town’s cheerful decorations and gift exchanges provide a backdrop that heightens the stakes of Kibosh’s scare deadline and Casper’s journey toward kindness.
