Plot

When Mrs. Claus travels to Pineville, the playful Santa Pups stow away on her sled. Taking mischief to a whole new level, they begin granting joyful wishes to Pineville's boys and girls, but after a furious young boy named Carter wishes for the Christmas spirit to disappear, it affects all of the people in town. Mrs. Claus, Carter, Sarah, the pups, and three sisters named Agnes, Dorothy and Blue that Mrs. Claus met try to bring the Christmas spirit back forever. They do this by airing on the radio and convincing everyone to act like normal. Carter wishes for the Christmas spirit to last forever all over the world. The pups are then able to reverse the wish. Pineville was filmed in Fernie, British Columbia.

Reception

The film has met extremely negative reviews, with critics stating that it had a dark tone and a weak plotline. Film critic Thomas Richards has noted the low quality voice acting. He also criticized the choice to eliminate actors from the original film such as the one who played Santa, as well as reusing old ones such as Kaitlyn Maher. Film critic Frank Smith said that Disney's overuse of dogs was annoying, and said that the humor in the film was "forced, and unnatural". At Typhoon Critics, the film holds 2.5 stars out of 10.
