Every summer, a horde of professional Santas, Mrs. Clauses and elves descend on a campsite in the New Hampshire woods to learn the tricks of their trade. This documentary not only explores the lighter aspects of the camp—such as the bonding and camaraderie among the participants—but also delves into some deeper themes, such as the commercialization of Christmas, the pressures of living up to the Santa Claus image, and the diversity of people who take on the role of Santa. It also looks at the more personal stories of those who become Santas, such as their motivations, challenges, and experiences.
