Nick (Guttenberg) is due to replace his retiring father, and needs a Mrs. Claus, so Santa’s adviser sends him down to Southern California. There he meets Beth Sawtelle (Bernard), a workaholic widow whose advertising job with Andrew West (Calabro) leaves precious little time for her son, Jake (Dominic Scott Kay). Concealing his identity, Nick stars in a series of Christmas commercials for the agency as he tries to make sure Jake and Beth both believe in Santa Claus—no easy task in her case!

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Good Christmas Movie, December 14, 2005

By	Tim Janson (Michigan) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

This film was originally shown on the Hallmark channel in 2004 and I know it is being repeated this year. It's a sappy charmer but the best Christmas movies tend to be sappy charmers anyway and this one does a very good job. The movie stars Steve Guttenberg who had really kind of disappeared for a few years but seems to be making a but of a comeback even if it's not in A features.

Guttenberg is Nick, the son of Santa Claus. His dad is retiring and Nick is going to take over the job but before he can he has to find a Mrs. Claus. Now obviously this is same plot used in the Santa Clause 2 so while it's not terribly original, it's pulled off well for a TV movie. Anyway he heads to Southern California where he eventually meets Beth played by Crystal Bernard. He of coruse has to win Beth over and convince her to believe in Santa. Beth is a hard-working career woman, widower, and mother who has a son named Jake. She works for an ad agency and Nick actually plays Santa in commercials that the company does. Well of course you know how the film turns out, right?

Guttenberg is always a likable guy and brings a regular guy charm to his roles. Bernard is equally likable, always playing the nice girl. It's a good family picture. Hallmark had made a sequel called "Meet the Santas" which should be popping up any day now. As they say...check your listings!

5.0 out of 5 stars A great family movie for the holidays!, November 4, 2005

By	CBfan1 "Crystal Fan" (Upstate, NY) - See all my reviews

This is a great holiday movie for the whole family. All of my kids enjoyed it as much as I did! It was great to see Crystal Bernard back in a "fun" role and with the old Helen from Wings look back again!!

There is a sequel to this movie coming out this year. On Dec 17th Hallmark will premire 'Meet The Santas'. Should be another good movie!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Christmas Movie to Remember, December 26, 2005

By	Babycakes (Houston, TX, USA) - See all my reviews

This has been my favorite new Christmas movie in recent years. Steve Guttenberg is a warm, gentle, and romantic Santa who makes my toes curl, but who also also possesses a natural understanding and affection for children that would melt anyone's heart. Crystal Bernard is perfect as a loving single mom full of energy and feistiness, trying to hide a wounded spirit and deep loneliness. The two of them are magic together on the screen, and the film has one of the most touching happy endings of any movie around. Buy it and watch it with a cup of hot chocolate and a fuzzy blanket. It's a winner.
