Synopsis
When Santa decides to stay put and open a year round store in a California suburb, it seemed like a good idea. Children could experience the magic of Christmas year round, and Santa wouldn't have to travel. Unfortunately, Santa's store becomes a tourist-crazy nuisance, and the issue turns political with the upcoming mayoral races. Candidate Elizabeth Gates (CHEERS' Shelley Long) wants to shut down Santa's store, but her 10-year old son is practically living there. Everyone learns a valuable lesson about Christmas by the time the whole thing is sorted out.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good film to watch, 11 Oct 2008

By	JusDave "Dave" (Oxon UK) - See all my reviews

We bought this as looked interesting and sounded a little different to the usual sort of film done for Christmas. We found it a good film, easy to watch with its own little twists and turns along the way whilst following the feeling of Christmas in a slightly different way to the norm.

If looking for an alternative Christmas movie, something lighthearted and easy to watch then give it a try. Is on our list to watch again and again as enjoyed it as did friends who borrowed it to watch too.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not great...but not bad!, 18 Nov 2008

By	Debra from Hull (England) - See all my reviews

Channel 5 usually shows these type of films in the run-up to Christmas - OK to watch whilst doing the ironing but don't stay in especially!

The premise is that a local councillor doesnt like Santa for some reason. For me the twist of the story was good even though it wasn't a great film. However I still wanted to know what happened at the end! The whole film takes place in June which meant that it never felt particularly Christmassy....Santa could just as easily have been the Easter bunny!

I bought this as part of an 8 DVD set - please look at my reviews for the others as I watch them.
