Now a Netflix movie starring Kristen Wiig, Maggie Smith and Henry Lawfull. Eleven-year-old Nikolas nicknamed "Christmas" dash, has received only one toy in his life- a doll carved out of a turnip. But he's happy with his turnip doll, because it came from his parents, who love him. Then one day his father goes missing, and Nikolas must travel to the North Pole to save him.

But the elves of Elf helm have troubles of their own- Christmas spirit and goodwill are at an all-time low, and Nikolas may be the only person who can fix things-if only he can reach his father before it's too late.
