The movie begin with saying that each holiday has its own town. Halloweentown, for example, is in charge of all the preparation for Halloween and its most prominent citizen is a skeleton named Jack Skellington. So one night when Jack becomes bored with another fright night, he wanders away from town and stumbles across Christmastown and becomes entranced. Jack decides that he needs to bring Christmas to Halloweentown and he is willing to just about anything to make it happen. Even if that means kidnapping Santa himself. Unfortunately his plans don't exactly come out right. The holidays just don't go together. Whether it's a coffin-shaped sled pulled by skeletal robo-reindeer to gifts that terrify the children. The effects just don't come out the way Jack wishes. Even at one point the military is called out to shoot Jack's sled from the Christmas Eve skies. If you want to know how it ends than you will just have to watch the movie for yourself then now don't you.
