How to Watch Miracle on 34th Street This Christmas
There are a number of streaming options
It helps to believe. That's the lesson Kris Kringle (Edmund Gwenn's Oscar-winning role) imparts as the real-deal Santa Claus in 1947's heartwarming Christmas classic Miracle on 34th Street.
As fans of the film know, the story begins when Kris is brought in as a substitute Santa at Macy's when the original employee proves unfit. It also helps that Kris' likeness to the mythical man is convincing enough to win over the season's biggest skeptics -- like Susan (Natalie Wood), the department store exec's smart and precocious daughter.
