Nice enough for be moving. first for the eccentric option for George Wendt for Mr. Claus, a bad idea as hypothesis, an admirable result at the end. second - adorable performance of Shelley Long. not the last, the ordinary ingredients for a Christmas movie who, in this case, are more seductive. a film who reminds not exactly the spirit of Christmas but its mark on the family spirit. and this is more than a significant virtue.

The main draw of this TV movie is really the fact that 'Cheers' stars Shelley Long and George Wendt reunite in it.But actually this is worth watching without that detail, because a decent story is being told. Yes, it's a little predictable, and it's certainly more than a little cheesy, but it's well meaning, and hey- it's a Christmas film.I enjoyed this far more than I thought I would, and that's because of the performances that were given by the actors, who try their best to rise above the sentiment that can sometimes clog films like this.If you're in need of a 'Cheers' reunion, this could be the place to go.

This film is a delight. Shelley Long Reunites with her "Cheers" co- star George Wendt in this Christmas Theme Film. What is perfect is that they play Mr & Mrs Santa Claus. There is something so special about a "Santa Claus" theme that I will be a huge sucker for. This is an above average TV-Movie. In this film: A recently engaged woman plans a get-together so her parents can meet her fiancé's family. It turns out that his parents are Mr. and Mrs. Claus.Lots of fun and has a pure heart. Family safe. Bake some cookies and watch together.

Another tis' the season movie. It is pretty good in my opinion. You have the young woman scientist with a kid who is shacked up with Santa's son. He asks her to marry him just before Christmas. This leads to Santa and the Mrs. coming out until Christmas Eve, accompanied by a young female elf. Her parents are also there and her dad is a real piece of work. He is some kind of well respected scientist who believes kids should be told the truth no matter what. The mom, a shrink of some kind, trails along until Santa and Mrs. joy of living starts to corrupt her (in a good way of course). There is a co-worker named Edward that her daddy keeps pushing at her as a much more suitable husband than Santas's son. Old Edward takes some pictures of the son with a female elf which causes her to dump sonny. George Wendt plays Santa as he has in several Christmas movies and does his usual bang up job. At the end of the movie everyone actually gets to see Santa and Mrs. take off in the sleigh, which by the way uses no reindeer but some super power source. All are over joyed except for a very stunned daddy.
