It is the same routine every year in Halloweentown: the monsters come out and perform a real scare. This Halloween, the “pumpkin king” Jack Skellington, bored of the celebration, saunters off into the woods. Upon the break of dawn, he discovers a clearing of trees with different doors representing various holidays. The Christmas Tree door attracts his attention and enters to discover the world of Christmas. Jack, fascinated with the new idea of Christmas, decides that he must share his enthusiasm with the citizens of Halloweentown.
