about the movie

christmas in wonderland

Christmas Eve is anything but merry at the Saunders house. The family just moved to Edmonton from Los Angeles, and they're feeling a little out of place. They're also out of money. Dad Wayne (Patrick Swayze) lost his job. Mom Judy (Rachel Hayward) is stuck in L.A. And sons Brian and Danny (Matthew Knight, Cameron Bright) are wishing they'd never left Cali.

The only one with any Christmas spirit is the littlest Saunders, Mary (Amy and Zoe Schlagel). So, when Wayne goes to do some last-minute shopping with the kids at the West Edmonton Mall, the largest shopping mall in North America, Mary has one thing on her mind: Santa.

Mary asks Santa for a million dollars to help her dad, and when a bag of cash literally falls at her feet, she thinks Santa's answered her wish. It's actually a little more complicated than that, and soon the situation snowballs to include three eccentric crooks (Carmen Electra, Chris Kattan, Preston Lacy), one kooky cop (Tim Curry), and a mysterious man (Matthew Walker) who turns up just when you need him.

It's a madcap adventure through Wonderland that proves Christmas magic isn't found at a mall ... it's been at home all along.
