Plot
During the First World War, A. C. Gilbert (Jason Alexander), a successful toymaker, is requested by the government to re-tool his factory to help produce goods for the war effort. After speaking with his father (Edward Asner) and his son (Jake Brockman), Gilbert initially agrees to this, but comes to regret his decision.
Things get the better of Gilbert as he learns that his brother Frank(Ari Cohen) has been declared missing in action in the war. This and other factors cause Gilbert to confront the government over plans to encourage people not to celebrate Christmas in order to save resources for the war effort. Gilbert successfully lobbies the government to allow him (and other toy manufacturers) to resume the production of toys for Christmas, thus earning Gilbert the name "The man who saved Christmas."
Ultimately, Gilbert's brother Frank returns from the war in time to celebrate Christmas.
