Storyline -
The story of Arthur Christmas revolves around the current Santa Claus, his wife, his two sons Arthur and Steve, and their grandfather, Grandsanta. Set on Christmas Eve night, the film opens with a set of elves sitting behind their computers at the commando bridge of Santa's gigantic, ultra-high-tech sleigh. While Santa and the elves deliver presents to children using fancy advanced equipment and military precision, Santa's oldest son Steve is managing the operation at mission control. Suddenly, Santa's clumsy younger son Arthur, who works at the post station answering childrens' letters, rushes into to deliver correspondence disturbing their operation to everyone's resentment.
With the seventieth annual delivery mission under his official command completed, Santa, whose role in field operations now is largely symbolic, returns to give a congratulatory speech to the elves. 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, Arthur's suggestion for the family to play a board game degenerates into a petty quarrel with Santa and Steve proxy arguing about their right to be Santa while Grandsanta, who is bored by retirement, resentfully criticizes his successors' modernization of their calling. Distraught, the various family members leave the dinner table, though Arthur stops Steve with a small gesture to reassure him that he will be a great Santa Claus. However, Steve rejects Arthur's overture, while at the same time their father shares his doubts with his wife about his self-identity if he retires.
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. Arthur alerts his father Santa, obviously past his prime, who doesn't know how to handle the situation. Steve argues that one missed present out of the billions of deliveries that night is a minimal error and since sunrise is in two hours with the high-tech sled needing an overhaul, correcting that oversight will have to wait a few days.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. Together, Grandsanta, Arthur, the reindeer, and Bryony who stows away, embark on a journey to deliver the present. They get lost and land in danger including they are mistaken for aliens, thus causing an international military incident and losing reindeer in the various mishaps. Through the group's struggles, Arthur is profoundly disillusioned to learn that Grandasanta is doing this merely to satisfy his ego, Steve refuses to help them out of a petty resentment of perceiving that Arthur is threatening his succession and his own father has gone to bed, apparently content to neglect his duty to that girl.
Finally, while stranded in Cuba after losing the sleigh, Arthur gets an renewal of purpose that the girl needs him and the field team manages regain control of the sleigh. Meanwhile, the Elf staff are collectively alarmed at learning of this neglected delivery and Santa's befuddled excuses sends them into a panic that their organization's ideals have been violated, threatening their whole existence. In response, Mr. and Mrs. Clause, and belatedly Steve, take the high tech sleigh to deliver the present. Unfortunately, they are seriously delayed by a basic mistake by Santa with the craft's navigation system which causes a embarrassing incident that reveals Steve's lack of empathy and compassion with his poor handling of the mistaken child while the elder son, humiliated at the misunderstanding, loses his temper at his father's aged incompetence.
After much difficulty 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. As a result, Santa gives Arthur the honor and Steve forfeits his birthright to his brother.Ultimately, the problem of who will be the next Santa Claus is settled to everyone's satisfaction: Santa goes into a happy retirement with Mrs. Claus while Grandsanta's desire for some traditionalism is satisfied with the compromise of the high tech sleigh being pulled by a 5000 reindeer team lead by the original eight reindeer, who all managed to return home after that difficult run. As for their sons, Steve finds he is content being CEO, overseeing the operation's technical matters with Vice President Bryony's help while Arthur happily guides the enterprise in the proper spirit as the new Santa.
