Synopsis:
Every year on Halloween, the monsters of Halloween Town come out and trick-or-treat. Jack Skeleton, the king of the town, feels bored and unhappy with the same routine so he takes a walk in the woods. He discovers a tree which leads him to the Christmas Town, which he never know existed. He is fascinated with the idea of Christmas and decides to take it over. He kidnaps Santa Claus and sets out to give presents to children on his own. However, those presents, such as worms and monsters, are scary and people are frightened by the toys Jack delivered. They even cancelled Christmas as the real Santa Claus is missing. Realizing he has made a mistake, Jack is willing to do anything to set things right.
