Another attractive Santa
BandSAboutMovies21 December 2023
Warning: Spoilers
FBI Agent Harper Winslow (Denyce Lawton) and Detective Carly Lopez (Teresa Castillo) are working together over the holidays to catch an art thief who dresses like Santa, giving this movie its name. Harper has also felt sparks with a man named Chris North (Donnell Turner) who - surprise, it's a Tubi Original - is also the thief. How does this all work out?

Harper and Carly have to get over their initial distrust of one another and find the art, which leads them to Quinn Carlyle (Kate Watson) and Alex Sykes (Brian Ames). Now, the weird thing is that our FBI protagonist so quickly doesn't care at all that she's dating the very same man that she's been tracking for a year. I guess North is so good looking that you end up forgiving, I guess. Maybe because it's Christmas?

Director Kristin Fairweather and writers Kathryn Dow and John Forgetta have made a movie that honestly won't offend anyone and has a little bit of detective procedural mixed with romance and some holiday spirit. They also used plenty of soap opera actors who are quite adept and getting into their roles and being likeable.

A Christmas twist that could use more squeeze

It has an interesting plot, but we just needed more of it! I love an art heist plot. It's such a high society wild world. Kate Watson was brilliantly hilarious and stunning! Donnell did make for a handsome Santa!

It just needed more pizazz and FUN!

Really enjoyed this movie, especially the characters! Would love to see follow up stories. The two couples are interesting and attractive in personality as well as physically. Love the casts, the lead and all my old GH favs! The plot and hook was effective and the subplot about finding Harper's biological mother was brilliant. It wasn't a spoiler, pacing and the timing was really great.

If not a followup to this story, bring them back in another movie. I've fell in love with the characters and I'm sure others have as well. Do a another sentimental Christmas theme solely around their lives. Perfect!
