- Official Netflix synopsis

Plot
It's Christmas Eve in 1843. A happy man, Harry Huffman, encounters his elderly uncle Ebeneezer Scrooge and his dog Prudence. However, Scrooge dislikes the holiday season. He refuses to give to charity and penalizes a toy store owner for being late on a debt payment. He also turns down Harry's invitation to Christmas dinner, and withholds his assistant's pay for taking Christmas Day off.

That night, he has a terrifying visitation from Jacob Marley, the ghost of his former mentor, who forewarns him of the punishment he will endure in the afterlife if he doesn't alter his mean-spirited ways.

Additionally, Marley's ghost warns Scrooge to prepare for three more appearances from three ferocious ghosts: the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future.

The first visit reminds Scrooge of the traumatic past that shaped him. The second shows how his actions hurt other people, and the third visit shows a glimpse of the bleak future that lies ahead. In the end, Scrooge must decide his own fate.
