Halloween Town will never be the same once Jack Skellington adds a tad of eerie excitement to his annual fright-fest. When the Pumpkin King finds himself in Christmas Town, surrounded by yuletide joy beyond his wildest nightmares, he becomes obsessed with Christmas. However, it is not until he must rescue "Sandy Claws" from the clutches of the evil Oogie Boogie that he truly understands the spirit of Christmas. (official distributor synopsis)
