性情刻薄、冷酷的守财奴埃比尼泽•斯克鲁奇(金•凯瑞 Jim Carrey 配音)，在圣诞节来临之际，却厌恶一切庆祝活动，还拒绝了侄子弗莱德(科林•费斯 Colin Firth 配音)的盛情邀请。

让埃比尼泽想象不到的是，七年前去世的合伙人约瑟夫•马利的鬼魂居然找上门来。约瑟夫看上去备受煎熬，因为他要为他生前的无情与冷漠付出代价。约瑟夫希望埃比尼泽不要走上自己的老路，并警告埃比尼泽将会有三个幽灵来拜访他。

这三个幽灵分别是圣诞节的“过去之灵”、“现在之灵”和“未来之灵”，他们带着这个冷漠自私、一毛不拔的老人踏上了一场时空之旅……

本片改编自查尔斯•狄更斯创作于1843年的同名小说，本片是迪士尼第一部将以IMAX 3D方式发行的影片，影片中的人物表情都是通过“表演捕捉”完成的。

精彩对白欣赏:

There are many things from which I have derived good and have not profited. Christmas being among them. But I have always thought of Christmas as a kind, charitable time. The only time when men open their shut-up hearts and think of all people as fellow travellers to the grave and not some other race of creatures bound on other journeys.

You fear the world too much, Ebenezer.

He frightened everyone away while he was alive. Only to profit us now that he's dead.
