The Christmas That Almost Wasn't (1966)

In an enchanted realm of yesteryears, seasoned attorney Sam Whipple finds his world upended by an unexpected visitor - none other than Santa Claus, just days before Christmas. A nostalgic memory stirs, of a promise Sam made in his youth, penning a heartfelt letter to Santa where he pledged to reciprocate the joy he had received from his gifts. The time to honour that promise has arrived. The North Pole, a beacon of yuletide joy, is under threat from the spiteful Phineas Prune, the ruthless holder of the North Pole deed. Phineas is hell-bent on collecting overdue rent, threatening to evict Santa, Mrs. Claus, and their industrious elves, and seize the treasure trove of Christmas toys. As the clock ticks down to the festive day, it falls upon Sam and Santa to devise a plan to outwit Prune, save their beloved North Pole, and keep the spirit of Christmas from being extinguished.

The Christmas That Almost Wasn't is a family movie featuring Paul Tripp.
