Santa Claus' (Paul Giamatti) older brother Fred (Vince Vaughn), a present-day repo man in Chicago, Illinois, gets arrested close to Christmas. When his brother St. Nick bails him out, Fred talks his way into a $50,000 loan for a business venture, which Nick will provide only if Fred comes to the North Pole to visit the family, including the brothers' mom and dad (Kathy Bates, Trevor Peacock) and Mrs. Claus (Miranda Richardson). Unbeknownst to Fred, another "guest" is an efficiency expert (Kevin Spacey) who wants to shut Santa's operation down.

The setting of the film takes place in a cottage where a baby is just born. Unlike normal babies, he didn't cry, but instead his first words were "Ho,ho.ho." So he was named Nicholas Claus, with his mother nicknaming him as Saint Nick. Frederick Claus loved his new baby brother very much and had promised to be the "best older brother in the whole world."

As they grew up, Fred became extremely jealous of Nick's attention because Nick had such a caring heart, and was unintentionally outdoing his brother. The moment Fred starts resenting his brother, is when Nick, out of good intentions, cuts down Fred's favorite tree with his bird friend, Chirp Chirp, living in it. Thus resulting in Chirp Chirp leaving and never returning again.
As Fred grew worse, Nicholas became even more generous, which fulfills his destiny as a Saint. When you become a Saint, you freeze in time. So Nicholas and his family never dies.

As the story switches into a more modern setting, we see Fred as an adult and a Repo man who takes from those who can't pay their bills (and even keeps what he repossesses). He hates Christmas time because every place he goes reminds him of his brother. By getting money to rent an apartment, Fred stands in the middle of the street begging for money in the name of charity which gets him arrested for not having a license. He calls his brother, Nicholas, as a last option for bail money.

To get the rest of the money for the apartment he was going to buy, Nicholas gives Fred a job at the toy company. Fred reluctantly agrees to Nicholas, who promised not to tell their mother Fred was coming. As Fred gets ready to leave, his "son" whose real father died a year ago gets taken from him from Child Services. Moments later, an elf comes lurking into Fred's apartment and takes him to the North Pole. Once there, Fred is shown into the toy factory, where all the elves work, and is shown to the station he'll be working at. Santa had arranged for Fred to work in the Naughty/Nice Department, inspecting files of all the world's children, and stamping who would be naughty and nice.
