Storyline
Arthur Christmas reveals the incredible, never-before seen answer to every child's question: 'So how does Santa deliver all those presents in one night?' The answer: Santa's exhilarating, ultra-high-tech operation hidden beneath the North Pole. But at the center of the film is a story about a family in a state of comic dysfunction and an unlikely hero, Arthur, with an urgent mission that must be completed before Christmas morning dawns. Written by Sony Pictures Animation

Trivia
The second consecutive film written by Peter Baynham to have the name Arthur in its title, the first being Arthur starring Russell Brand. See more »Goofs
Errors in geography: The plot of "Arthur Christmas" includes a Spanish-speaking town named Trelew in Mexico. This is apparently a misplacement of Trelew, Argentina; I cannot find any reference on the 'net or Google Earth to any Trelew in Mexico. See more »Quotes
