Switching Santas Budget: $5M - $10M | Family Every 300 years a new Santa Claus is chosen. After a year-long search, and several misfires on potential candidates, The Elf Council selects a small town mall Santa. When they approach him he’s hesitant at first, but eventually is convinced and decides to go. His wife thinks it’s crazy and resists, but he talks her into going too. The new Santa hits the road running at The North Pole with childlike joy. But as the holidays approach, he begins to think of something he hadn’t considered before. To all of the kids that he has seen over the years at the mall, he is the only Santa they have ever known. To them, he is the one and only Santa, and he begins to worry that their belief in Santa is in jeopardy if there is a different one sitting in his old throne at the store. So he makes a deal with the Elf Council that he can periodically make visits back to Cottonwood Falls and continue to be the Santa for these kids that he cares about so much. These visits create some logistical problems and he has instances where examples of his new Santa magical powers occur while he’s in the “real world”, because he hasn’t quite learned how to control them. Still feeling out of place after months of struggling to fit in, Mrs. Claus disappears on Christmas Eve. Santa’s focus shifts from Christmas to finding his wife. After confiding in a “special” character she can’t see who encourages her, Mrs. Claus decides to go back and help save Christmas. She is surprised when it’s revealed who she’s been talking to.
