The film was made with support from the Netherlands Film Fund, The Swedish Film Institute, Filmpool Nord, MEDIA, and the Tax Shelter measure of the Belgian Federal Government.

About the film
A week before Christmas, ten-year-old Max (Dennis Reinsma) discovers that a moose has fallen through the barn roof. It is not just any moose. It is Moos (voiced by Jeroen van Koningsbrugge), who not only can talk but also works for Santa Claus (Derek de Lint) as a test pilot, before the reindeer do the real work. During the sleigh test flight, everything went terribly wrong, causing him to lose Santa. Moos will have to find Santa very quickly, because without Santa, no one gets presents. Max & Moos receive help in their search from their little sister Kiki (Dana Goldberg), but are also thwarted by the mean neighbor Panneman (Arjan Ederveen). Will they manage to find Santa?
