《圣诞男孩》 是讲述圣诞老人尼古拉斯凯的少年传奇。。。影片开始时， 《唐顿庄园》老奶奶麦基 史密斯 女爵在影片中扮演Aunt Ruth, 照看最近丧母的三个小宝贝。那天刚好是平安夜， 三个小宝贝的父亲Matt 灰心丧气不想过节、也没有装点圣诞气氛。。。是夜Matt 因故离家，Aunt Ruth给三个小宝贝讲了小男孩尼古拉斯的故事

话说很久很久以前， 小朋友尼古拉斯与父亲住在大雪纷飞的芬兰。他的母亲被熊所杀，小宝贝要求老爸每晚复述老妈身前讲过的小女孩和精灵的故事 “her pockets full of chocolates.”Taking with him a headstrong reindeer called Blitzen and a loyal pet mouse, Nikolas soon meets his destiny in this magical and endearing story that proves nothing is impossible…

"ABoy Called Christmas" a genuine sense of enchantment. The film also hasdelicate animation that illustrates Joel’s bedtime story about Elfhelm and the gentle transitions from Aunt Ruth and the children to Nikolas’ adventures. There are a few sly references to familiar issues witha group called The Resistance to challengeMother Vodal’s panicked despotism. And there’s the king’s rhetorical question to his subjects about what would give them a better life. They make a few tentative suggestions like "health care" and "a living wage," but he insists that the answer is a quest for “hope,” even one where “most of you will die.”
