Christmas in Wonderland is a 2007 comedy film about three children who move with their father from Los Angeles to Edmonton, Alberta, where they catch a group of counterfeiters while Christmas shopping.
Plot
The Saunders family have just moved from Los Angeles to Edmonton right before Christmas leaving them with no Christmas spirit with the exception of the bright eyed six-year-old Mary. With their mother Judy stuck in L.A., it is up to Wayne, the father and his kids to go to the mall to fulfill the Christmas shopping duties. Things start looking a bit more like Christmas when twelve-year-old Brian and Mary find a large amount of money and launch on a shopping spree across the mall, until the criminals who counterfeited it begin to chase after them through the mall.
