Miracle on 34th Street is a 1994 Christmas comedy drama fantasy film directed by Les Mayfield.

Plot - The film starts on November 24, Thanksgiving Day. Tony, the Santa Claus of the Cole department stores, should close the big parade through the streets of New York on the sleigh pulled by fake reindeer; however he is caught drunk while doing his job by Mr. Kris Kringle. Given his very Santa-like appearance, the latter is hired in Tony's place by Mrs. Dorey Walker.
Kris identifies himself as Santa Claus and claims to be really one. All the children believe he is the real Santa, except Susan, Dorey's sweet daughter, while a friend of hers, Bryan Bedford, tries to get the little girl to believe. Eventually Susan also begins to grow fond of Kris, and one evening, while she babysits her, she confesses what she wants for Christmas: a dad, a house and a little brother. Kris convinces the little girl that if she starts believing in Santa, she'll get those things and Susan starts believing.
Meanwhile, the Lanbergh warehouses, competitors of the Cole warehouses, hatch a plan to discredit Cole Kris Kringle's Santa Claus. They manage to have him arrested and locked up in a psychiatric clinic. With the help of Bryan who is a lawyer, Dorey takes Kris's case to court and fights for people to be convinced that Santa exists. When everything seems compromised for Kris Kringle as they have not been able to prove the true existence of Santa Claus, little Susan approaches showing the judge a Christmas card with a dollar bill. On the back the words "In God we trust" have been circled, so the judge pronounces his sentence on the same principle of trust in Santa Claus and Kris is cleared.

Following the court case, Dorey and Bryan are maneuvered by Kris into realizing their true feelings for each other, and they get married in a small ceremony just after midnight mass on Christmas Eve. On Christmas morning, Susan wakes up to discover her marriage and realizes that her wish to have a dad for Christmas has been fulfilled; she too comes true her wish to have a house, since Mr. Kringle had bought it that night just for them. When Dorey and Bryan ask Susan what she asked for Christmas besides those two things, she confesses that she asked for a baby brother, and the couple look down at Dorey's lap and kiss.
