The Nanny is an American television sitcom that aired for six seasons on CBS from 1993 to 1999. Created and produced by Fran Drescher and Peter Marc Jacobson, the series starred Drescher as Fran Fine, a Queens native who is hired by widower Maxwell "Max" Sheffield (Charles Shaughnessy) to be the nanny of his three children Margaret (Nicholle Tom), Brighton (Benjamin Salisbury), and Grace (Madeline Zima). The series also starred Lauren Lane as C.C. Babcock, Max's business associate, and Daniel Davis as Niles, the family's butler.
In this animated Christmas special, Brighton is more concerned with getting presents than the spirit of giving, so Fran decides to take him to a homeless shelter to teach him about the less fortunate. But on their way, the two (along with Chester) are swept up in a winter storm and find themselves at the North Pole, where Santa Claus (who looks just like Maxwell) and his elves (including Maggie, Grace, and a lounge-singing Niles) are struggling to defend the holiday from the Ice Princess of the North, "C.C. the Abominable Babcock." Fran eventually solves the problem, saves Christmas, and even teaches Brighton the true meaning of the holiday.
