The Langstons in Jingle All the Way (1996)
Oh, the lengths well-meaning people will go to in the name of Christmas shopping! Howard Langston (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is a mattress salesman so consumed with his job that he has a hard time remembering to show up for his son Jamie's karate class. The way to make it up to Jamie? By buying a toy. To prove that he's not such a bad dad after all, Howard promises to buy Jamie a Turbo Man action figure, the one toy his son desperately wants. Only trouble is, Howard forgets to get it, it's Christmas Eve, and Turbo Man is sold out everywhere.
