In a nutshell

When Smeerensburg's new spoiled young postman, Jesper, befriends a reclusive toymaker Klaus, they inadvertently start a tradition that transforms the town and inspires joy and kindness.

Our review

A refreshing and beautifully animated reimagining of the origin of Santa Claus.  The story's warmth, wit and meaningful message about the power of selflessness make Klaus a modern Christmas classic that appeals to all ages!
