When Dorey Walker (Elizabeth Perkins), the events director at Cole’s department store, hires an elderly gentleman named Kris Kringle to step in as their Macy’s-style Santa during the Thanksgiving parade, the results are magical. As Kringle wins hearts—including that of Susan Walker, a skeptical six-year-old—rumors swirl that he may actually be the real Santa Claus. His honesty and spirit boost Cole’s fortunes, infuriating rival retail magnates who plot to discredit him.
