Mr. Potcher, a school consultant, eliminates all classes in the arts and all extracurricular activities. When a young student named Darcy tries to persuade him to reinstate these activities, he not only remains unconvinced, he decides also to do away with all the holidays -- actually eliminate them from existence. The iconic holiday characters (Santa, Easter Bunny, Cupid, Leprechaun, Jack-o-Lantern and Thanksgiving Turkey) conspire with Darcy to change Mr. Potcher’s mind.
