Trivia:

Santa Baby (2006) (TV) was a ratings hit for ABC FAMILY, pulling in over 4.7 million viewers during its initial airing, making it, at the time, the most watched original movie developed for the channel.

Goofs:

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): In the scene after Santa encourages Luke to go after Mary, She and her dad (Santa) is talking when Gary the elf shows up with a "productivity report" stating that productivity is up 1000000% and Mary says "You are making 1 million times more presents?" However +1000000% presents would make it only 10000 times more presents, not a million.

this should've made it to the big screen

Wow is my only comment. McCarthy reveals so much depth and charisma in her acting abilities. I also found this story quite intriguing. Who is this daughter of Kringle?...This re-arranger of emotions who has held my heart captive for so long? I don't want to spoil any surprises for the possible late viewers BUT I will say it has a happy ending. Not in the massage parlor way either. My life is changed forever.

I should also note that the annoying song that goes with this movie made me not want to watch it. I would recommend that any other viewer who fears this will taint the actual viewing should swallow this pill in a small show of sacrifice. While not as astoundingly good as that one with Dudley as a drunken elf--for which I can't remember the title--it does stand out as a heart-warming cup of holiday good-spirit-nog. My soul is tinseled with good will toward my fellow man. Just what Christmas is about. I'm a better person for having watched it.
