An American family gets together for Christmas. It doesn't take long until the contemplation under the Christmas tree is over. Violent arguments quickly break out between those present. When the power went out, the mood hit rock bottom. Meanwhile, the grandmother of the family creeps into the suspicion that supernatural powers are involved. Their suspicions are soon confirmed: The Krampus , a terrifying demon with large horns on its head and hooves on its legs, has come to haunt the quarreling family members and punish them in a ruthless manner. He had once kidnapped the grandmother's parents into the afterlife and has now been accidentally conjured up by one of her grandchildren. After all members of the family have gradually fallen victim to Krampus and his creatures, the grandson wakes up - apparently everything was just a nightmare.
