Two teenage girls, Samantha Elizabeth "Sam" Kwan and Allison Rachel "Allie" Thompson, find a weather machine at a shack in the woods. After learning of its controls, they use it to make it snow in Los Angeles. It is fun for everybody who it affected. It turns out that the machine belongs to Santa Claus and he informs Mrs. Claus about this. To help him, she sends Crumpet and Sparky, two elves who look nothing like the traditional design (in other words, as one of them mentions, they are "not 3 feet tall and have squeaky voices").
