Northpole, the magical home to Santa (Robert Wagner) & Mrs. Claus (Jill St. John), has grown into a huge city powered by the magic of holiday happiness around the world. Yet as people everywhere get too busy to enjoy festive time together, the city is in trouble. Who can help save the cherished traditions of Christmas? One young boy, Kevin (Max Charles), might have a chance if he can convince his protective mom, Chelsea (Tiffani Thiessen), to rediscover the magic of the season. With a little added help from Kevin's charming teacher Ryan (Josh Hopkins), a mysterious elf-like girl Clementine (Bailee Madison) and a gospel singer named Josephine (Candice Glover), Kevin is determined to bring his mom in on the fun and prove that one small voice can change the hearts of many.

Reception
“Northpole," written by Gregg Rossen and Brian Sawyer and directed by Douglas Barr, ... what makes a good holiday cookie are the ingredients and the decorations, both of which are of high quality here…"Northpole" is lovely to look at, and, as an added bonus, overseen by Robert Wagner and Jill St. John in excellent wiggage.[1] Tiffani's Chelsea is well-written and sees great development going from loving yet cynical journalist/mother to softened and cheerful believer in the best this season has to offer....and all in a natural way …With a positive message and gorgeous scenery, Northpole dazzled and delighted!
