Zero story.

What is this movie about?
Not much. A happens, then B happens, then C happens, and so on. Their on a train, then there's a ticket, then a guy on the top of the train, then caribou, then the carriage comes off, then they're in a factory, then this, then that.
The message:
Believe
BELIEVE
BEEELLLLIIIEEEVVVE!
In what? Santa? He's been on a magic train that skates on ice, with a weird disappearing man who doesn't do anything but sit there and disappear seemingly at will, and we're supposed to think that he doesn't believe in SANTA?! What?! I'd believe in anything at that point.
Then there's a bell. Then they go home.
But it's a kid's movie. Why complain? Of the tiresome sequence of events, none of them are fun; they are mostly about going really fast. (This movie is really about people going fast, because that looks good in 3D, apparently). There is one scene where they have chocolate, but the kids spend most scenes in mortal peril, falling or hanging off things. None of that innocent joy thing you might expect. Just fear for their lives.
