Santa (J.K. Simmons) has been kidnapped. Callum Drift (Dwayne Johnson) as head of security is in charge of getting him back. Zoe (Lucy Liu) head of the Mythological Oversight and Restoration Authority announces what has happened, and provides information to Callum about who hacked their system, Jack O'Malley (Chris Evans). They go to visit him and he indicates he didn't know what he was hacking, and the buyer was anonymous. Zoe hires Jack to help with the pursuit and places a tracker on him, He is working with Callum who is reluctant to take him along. However using Jack they find Ted (Nick Kroll) an information broker. He divulges Gryla (Kiernan Shipka), the winter witch as the buyer. As soon as Gryla's name is pronounced she is able to perceive this and sends snow monsters. Ted is frozen. They then travel to the home of Krampus (Kristofer Hivju), Santa's estranged adopted brother. He is Gryla's ex. He always thought things should be rougher for those on the naughty list. Krampus is not involved, but Gryla has borrowed from him the Glaskäfig, which can be used to trap someone naughty. Santa is in a similar device which zaps his magical power and keeps him unconscious. Gryla wants to punish anyone who has been on the naughty list. She tests this on Jack and his estranged son Dylan (Wesley Kimmel). Being in adjoining Glaskäfig cells they are able to talk. As they talk they warm up to each other. The Glaskäfig begins to melt as they are no longer naughty and they are freed.
In tracking Jack's tracker they discover he is at the North Pole. Santa has been held there the whole time, as have the elves and Mrs. Clause (Bonnie Hunt). Gryla's sons have been helping her. The rescue Santa and a big confrontation ensues, in which Santa is able to capture Gryla with the help of the elves. Then on to save Christmas.
I found this to be an enjoyable Christmas movie but not a classic.
