A gleefully violent, quippy holiday romp where festive cheer meets bone-crunching brawls.

Directed by: Tommy Wirkola

Starring: David Harbour, Kristen Bell, Daniela Melchior

Tagline: ...and to all a good fight.
Overview: When Santa forgets the true meaning of Christmas, he finds himself in the heart of a lively mall community in desperate need of his help. Sapped of his magic, he’ll need another way to take on the goons threatening the mall, and time is running out. Santa has to rediscover his faith in goodness and call in some last-minute reinforcements from the one person no baddie wants to tangle with: Mrs. Claus.
