The story of Arthur Christmas revolves around the current Santa Claus, his wife, his two sons Arthur

and Steve, and their grandfather,

Grand-Santa. While Santa and the elves deliver

presents to children using fancy advanced equipment

and military precision, Santa’s oldest son Steve manages the

operation at mission control, alongside his obsequious assistant

Peter. His clumsy younger brother Arthur, is assigned to handling children’s letters in the

mail department.With the seventieth annual delivery mission

under his official command completed, much to Steve’s frustration, who has long anticipated

succeeding his father, Santa announces he intends to continue for the foreseeable future. During their family Christmas dinner, Santa and Steve start arguing about their right to be Santa. Meanwhile, an elf named Bryony

finds a wrapped bicycle that has not yet been delivered. She alerts Steve and his elf-assistant to the problem. Overhearing, Arthur is alarmed to recognize the present as a gift for a little girl

named Gwen who

had written Santa about her wish

The distraught

Arthur is stopped by his grandfather, who proposes delivering the gift with his old

wooden sleigh named Evie and the great-grandchildren of his old reindeer which

were called Dasher,

Dancer, Prancer, John, Bambi, “You with the

white ear”, “And You, and you”. Together, Grand-Santa, Arthur, the reindeer and Bryony, who

had stowed away, embark on a journey to deliver the present. They get lost and land in danger including being mistaken for aliens,

thus causing an international military incident and losing

reindeer in the various mishaps.

Arthur is profoundly disillusioned to learn that Granda-Santa is doing this merely to

satisfy his ego, while Steve refuses to help them out of a petty

resentment of perceiving that Arthur is threatening his succession and that his own father is least

bothered.Meanwhile, the elf staff is collectively alarmed at learning

of this neglected delivery and fear that

their organization’s ideals have been violated, threatening their whole existence. In response, Mr. and Mrs. Claus, and belatedly Steve, take

the high-tech sleigh to deliver the present After much difficulty, and with Mrs. Claus’

and Bryony’s help, all the male Clauses arrive at Gwen’s house before she awakens, only to have all but Arthur quarrel about who finally

places the gift. Noticing that only Arthur truly cares about the girl’s feelings in the Christmas spirit in this situation, the elder Clauses realize

that he is the sole true worthy successor and gives him the honor.
