    good ideas

    Few genres mixed in nice manner. Luke Mcferlane and Italia Ricci. A serious fist of cliches. A theater troupe and a night full of adventures.

    Not so bad and almost charming , except few holes and few forced scenes.

    But a film having as character the son of Santa Claus in his first job day sounds interesting and the presence of Hallmark veterans a real good point.

    Difficult to be real enthusiastic, difficult to be real critic about this film but, with a mug with hot chocolate and some cookies is just the perfect film when Christmas is expected by entire family. And the touch of classics works more than decent . So, Catch Me If You Claus.

    This was hysterical, largely thanks to Luke Macfarlane.

    Luke Macfarlane plays the newly anointed Santa in this Hallmark holiday film and he is hilariously fantastic. He has adopted this kind of innocent character for the new Santa. Unfortunately, he doesn't have everything worked out and wakes Avery while delivering the wrong package to her house.

    Want to be reporter Avery, awakened and confused finding a package wielding man dressed like Santa in her livingroom mistakes him for the very real thief that has been dressing like Santa breaking in and stealing from people. She is on the eve of her first big on tv appearance and is not thrilled with having to deal with an intruder...when she discovers Kris is not the thief and that the mayor's man is somehow involved in looking for the criminals, she finds herself with the opportunity of a lifetime to break a case on air.

    I loved the low budget theater group who won three Tony's...pizza that is. Lol! They were great, but what really was the humorous glue holding it all together was the handsome and funny Luke Macfarlane.

    If you like a funny Hallmark holiday film, you'll get a kick out of this and I recommend it.

    He is Back!

    Great comedy movie with a little rom thrown in. Luke MacFarlane is back! This character suits his method of acting and doesn't fail to entertain. He was in a couple of recent Christmas movies that were so bad I wondered if Hallmark had put him on the shelf. But this and the one with Ashley Williams has brought him back. His pairing with Italia Ricci was a great choice. Some speak of chemistry between actors, I think these two also show respect for one another. The creators also made a holiday movie without the need to have a child in it to show the joy of Santa. Actors terrific, story great, can't help but get that feel good feeling and even laugh, and you must watch if only to catch a ride to somewhere warm.

    Catch a falling Santa

    Hallmark has a new style of romcom which can only be described in one word: hilarious! This movie makes a shiny exhibition of the comic chops of romcom favorite, Luke MacFarlane.

    The title of this movie is reminiscent of a film with a similar name, revealing that there's more to this romcom than meets the eye. When a little Christmas Eve/Morning investigation ensues: Who will be discovered?

    Who will be on the run?

    Who will be captured?

    Who will kiss at the end?

    Will it be Santa?

    Must be Santa!

    (Or, will it?)

    Invite your friends to sleigh ride over. As you watch this movie, don't be surprised if you catch yourself smiling with Santa.

    Luke MacFarlane In

    This is hilarious, look at Fairlane is funny is just this fits him perfectly I've liked all his movies here and Hallmark but this one is got to be the best he's ever done don't let him go Hallmark he's a standout . The perfect Holiday movie.

    I don't wanna leave any spoilers on this, that would be wrong those who want to see it need to watch it on Hallmark when it's on I'm watching it now it's almost over and I keep laughing on this whole thing is absolutely funny. Also he pairs well with the leading lady. Usually he pairs well with all the leading ladies he has a good rapport with all of them good chemistry. I don't want to give spoilers on the show people need to watch it it is just great so far this is one of the best ones for the Christmas season.

    • Trivia
      To give it a more cinematic feel, this film was Hallmark's first film to be produced in the 2.00 : 1 aspect ratio gaining popularity among filmmakers as it provides for a wider aspect ratio halfway between 16:9 and 2.35:1 but results in thinner letterbox bars that may otherwise bother viewers.
    • Goofs
      Chris exclaims looking at his watch "it's 11:52 and I've not even begun delivering gifts to the western hemisphere". This an error as he broke into the house to deliver a gift to Avery and she lives in the western hemisphere. Moreover, Santa would start delivery in the eastern hemisphere to have a longer time to deliver as the countries lie east of the prime meridian and "day ahead" of the international date line.
