It isn’t long before this night before Christmas turns into a nightmare. The ferocious dinosaurs—Smasher, Splinter, Crusher, Fang, Biter, Slang, Stomper and a mean, mighty T-Rex dressed like an evil St. Nick—soon start destroying the neighborhood, gobbling up the presents, and ruining Christmas.  When Dad meets the real Santa Claus, the two of them, along with some amazing bubble gum, a powerful video gun, and some surprise helpers, engage in one epic battle to save Christmas.
