Finally found a Christmas movie worse than Santa Claus Conquers the Martians. So, so bad. At best infantile garbage. From the moment it starts it is draw droppingly bad. Had to go make a coffee - very strong - to help brace me through the rest of the movie. Ludicrous characters litter a story that would only have a chance of working - and I stress chance - if it was converted to a cartoon and shown on a midday children's network. OK, the storyline is meant to be unrealistic but before the 'change' takes place, the characters are incredibly ridiculous. After the change, the transposed characters do not represent who they originally were. Confused writing, confused story - confused why I chose to watch it.
Plot summary
A struggling dad gets a new start after a strange encounter replaces his mall Santa gig with the real thing.

Oh dear!
You should pass on this holiday fruitcake
Santa gives an angry man his powers in this Hallmark film that seems to be channeling the film "Bruce Almighty" but fails to deliver anything in this boring Hallmark Christmas film .
In this film as the Christmas season approaches, Dan Ryebeck (Ethan Erickson) is facing unemployment, and struggling to pay for the gifts he thinks will impress his two kids, Sally (Annie Thurman) and Joe (Griffin Cleveland). Always chasing a new business idea, Dan hasn't had time for family, including his wife Linda (Anne Dudek), who is finally fed up and filing divorce papers. Threatened by Linda's handsome and successful young boss, Trevor (Steve Valentine), Dan knows he must make this Christmas the best one yet to win his family back. But after auditioning for a mall Santa job and quickly losing his cool, Dan is frustrated and broke, blaming the holidays for his troubles. Little does he know his luck is about to turn around when the real Kris Kringle (Donovan Scott) pays him a visit from the North Pole.
Hallmark has many great films for people to watch during the holidays. When this one pops up change the channel.
