Buddy’s enormous size and less-than-stellar toy-making abilities eventually reveal the truth about his identity. With Santa’s heartfelt permission, he embarks on a journey to New York City in search of his birth father, determined to bridge the gap between his two worlds. As Buddy navigates the bustling streets of the city, he encounters a series of humorous and poignant challenges, from his father’s place on the naughty list to his half-brother’s disbelief in Santa. Despite the obstacles, Buddy remains optimistic and determined to bring joy and Christmas spirit to his newfound family.
