"Miracle on 34th Street" follows Kris Kringle, a department store Santa who insists he is the real Santa Claus. Hired to spread holiday cheer at Macy's, he wins over a wary executive and especially the young girl Susan Walker, who has been taught not to believe in fairy tales. When Kringle's identity is challenged, a courtroom battle tests faith in miracles, shared myths, and the meaning of Christmas. Its blend of whimsy, romance, and social warmth makes it a perennial holiday favorite.
