Monday showing at 6.30pm | Tuesday & Wednesday at 8pm

A festive comic romp, with a satirical edge, for adults who are young at heart.

Christmas Eve, and Santa’s 149th wife, Claudia Claus, despairs of him. He’s hooked on video games and hasn’t delivered a present in person for thirteen years, meaning kids now stop believing in him aged three and a half.

When Claudia and her semi-competent elves take over Santa’s long night of deliveries, an encounter with an entitled seven-year-old leads them to start robbing from the rich to give to the poor. A Hollywood socialite, a Russian oligarch and Dwayne Bilston, founder of heavy metal, are all relieved of their not so hard-earned cash. This gets Claudia and team into very deep trouble indeed, until divine intervention leads to an unexpected conclusion.
