In this enchanting reimagining of Santa’s origin set in 19th-century Norway, spoiled postman Jesper is exiled to the icy, feuding town of Smeerensburg as punishment for his laziness. Tasked with delivering 6,000 letters in a year or losing his inheritance, he befriends isolated toymaker Klaus, who lives alone in a cabin full of handmade toys.
