At the North Pole, Lance—Santa’s overachieving canine Chief of Staff—keeps Christmas running like clockwork until a storm sends him falling from the sleigh and out of his animated universe into the live-action real world. Stranded far from home, he’s taken in by a military family just as their dad is deployed. Lance’s presence transforms their lives—and his own—as he discovers that the greatest gifts aren’t wrapped at all. When Santa comes searching for his lost friend, Lance must decide where his heart truly lies.
Santa’s Dog blends...
the heart of A Dog’s Purpose
with the fish-out-of-water holiday magic of Elf
and the animation-to-live-action structure of Enchanted.
A heartwarming holiday story with faith-forward family themes.
