In New York City's bustling holiday season, a unique adventure unfolds at Gimbel's department store. Buddy Hobbs, an oversized, cheerful elf raised among Santa's helpers at the North Pole, mistakenly finds himself in the human world. With his childlike innocence and unwavering belief in the spirit of Christmas, Buddy brings a touch of magic and mayhem to the metropolis.
As Buddy embarks on a quest to find his real father, Walter Hobbs (James Caan), a cynical publisher, he encounters a world vastly different from his North Pole home. Lost and alone in the foreign city, Buddy's relentless optimism and unwavering determination eventually lead him to Walter's office.
Walter, initially taken aback by his newfound, oversized son, reluctantly agrees to let Buddy stay until he can prove his identity. As Buddy settles into his father's cramped apartment, his infectious enthusiasm and unwavering faith in Santa Claus clash hilariously with Walter's pragmatic nature.
Buddy's childlike antics, including creating snowballs in the microwave and ice skating in Rockefeller Center, draw both amused and bewildered reactions from New Yorkers. He befriends Jovie (Zooey Deschanel), a disillusioned department store employee, and helps her rediscover the magic of Christmas.
However, Buddy's presence in Manhattan threatens to expose the existence of the North Pole and Santa's operation. The villainous Miles Finch (Peter Dinklage), a children's book author, plots to capture Buddy and use his knowledge to prove the existence of Santa and discredit him.
As Christmas Eve approaches, Buddy's true nature is revealed during a festive concert at Lincoln Center. With Santa's help, Buddy's identity is confirmed, and Walter finally accepts his extraordinary son. The film culminates in a heartwarming display of Christmas cheer as New Yorkers join Buddy in singing "Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town."
