n Mistletoe Manor, King Nicholas XX, commonly known as Santa Claus (Oscar ® and Emmy nominee Charles Durning, Hard Time), and his wife Carlotta (Emmy nominee and Golden Globe winner Katherine Helmond, “Who’s The Boss?”), aren’t feeling particularly jolly. With Christmas only weeks away, the aging king is ready to pass his throne to the Crown Prince, Nick St. Nicholas (Golden Globe and Emmy winner Kelsey Grammer, Animal Farm). But the sexy Santa-to-be is a no-show heir with other priorities - his lavish seaside estate, leggy newswoman Heidi Gardelle (Elaine Hendrix, The Parent Trap), and public relations expert Hector Villarba (Luis Garcia, “American Family”). Heidi and Hector may not know Nick’s true identity, but they do know that he is the prince of benefits. Their plan? Use his knockout connections to create an on-line holiday charity. Nick’s all for it. Unfortunately, the problems are just beginning. A charge of fraud has turned Nick’s charity into a nationwide scandal. What’s it going to take to prevent Christmas from becoming a dim memory? Nothing short of a miracle. |
