The story is about a guy named Billy Chapman who witnesses the murder of his parents on Christmas night. This really affects him, and he slowly transforms into a serial killer. He dresses as Santa and goes on a spree. Suddenly, he meets a girl named Pam and falls in love with her. This complicates things for him.

In an interview with AU Review, director Mike Nelson revealed that he wanted to approach the remake as a love story. He said,

"This is going to sound crazy, but I wanted to do a love story. That was first and foremost. That was a big thing. I wanted to pay homage to the original, and you can see that throughout. There’s some kills that feel like a Silent Night, Deadly Night film, and I wanted it to be a good, new introduction to Billy Chapman. But a new take on it. I wanted to have the love story. I wanted there to be this multi-layered thing were you have two characters, well actually three characters, and how they all intertwine and those stories cross."
