20. Get Santa

What would happen if Santa crashed on Christmas, lost his reindeer, and couldn’t get back to the North Pole? That is what Get Santa is all about.

Santa crashes, runs from the police and ends up in the garage of a father and son. When they find him, he asks them to help gather all his reindeer together so he can return home and Christmas won’t be ruined.

But the father, Steve, isn’t exactly on the nice list. He’s on parole from prison and was a former getaway driver. And when his son finds what he thinks is Santa in their garage, Steve thinks the man is simply insane. He doesn’t even believe him even after Santa tells him something from his childhood. He sends him away and Santa ends up trying to gather his reindeer alone, but is caught and sent to prison (yikes, Santa!).

By the next morning, Steve’s son, Tom, doesn’t want to go anywhere except to see Santa in prison. So Steve gives in and Santa tells him how to find his reindeer. In return, Steve tells him how to cope when in prison. But as it turns out, Santa doesn’t need much help. He ends up acting as the “Father Christmas” at the prison’s Christmas party.

Will they figure out the solution and get Santa out of jail or will they fail and kids be without presents on Christmas morning? You’ll have to watch to find out.

Get Santa stars Jim Broadbent, Rafe Spall, Kit Connor, Ewan Brenner, Warwick Davis, Stephen Graham, Jodie Whitaker, and Joanna Scanlan.
