SOMETIMES THE BIGGEST THREAT TO CHRISTMAS IS THE ONE TRYING TO SAVE IT. A seven-year-old boy writes to Santa. Not for toys, not for video games, but for something far bigger: a gift for his mother and, if possible, a quick ride in the sleigh. The letter is short, honest, and mailed the old-fashioned way. That should've been the end of it. Instead, it's read. By a mother, who cries. By a network, hidden behind screens.

SOMETIMES THE BIGGEST THREAT TO CHRISTMAS IS THE ONE TRYING TO SAVE IT. A seven-year-old boy writes to Santa. Not for toys, not for video games, but for something far bigger: a gift for his mother and, if possible, a quick ride in the sleigh. The letter is short, honest, and mailed the old-fashioned way. That should've been the end of it. Instead, it's read. By a mother, who cries. By a network, hidden behind screens. By someone who hasn't believed in magic for decades... and someone who never stopped. What begins with a single wish lands Kandi, a brilliant but broken girl, and her widowed father on a luxury Christmas vacation they didn't ask for. The destination? A tropical island where ornaments float, holograms dance, and the snow is absent. There are no phones. No guests. Their mysterious host is cloaked and just a little obsessed with Christmas. She's prepared every detail. Too perfectly. But as heat rises and technology glitches, paradise begins to unravel. The island isn't just a resort. It's a stage. At its center is a hidden tower, and inside it, a legend is waking up. Confused. Powerful. The most famous Christmas figure of all, pulled into a game he doesn't understand. And their host? She has plans. Big ones. The kind that will rewrite Christmas itself. Claus: Rise of the Miser is a bold, surreal holiday adventure packed with illusions, secrets, and sentient machines. At its core is a girl desperate for answers and a mother desperate for redemption. Magic meets technology, wishes collide with reality, and Christmas will never look the same. Because sometimes the greatest gift comes wrapped in chaos.
