An old man going by the name of Kris Kringle fills in for an intoxicated Santa Claus in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

When he surprises customers and employees alike by claiming that he really is Santa Claus, it leads to a court case to determine his mental health and, more importantly, his authenticity.—Jwelch5742
