How do you like to get into the holiday mood? I start in early December by decorating the house, hanging up lights outside, going to Christmas parties and I enjoy watching holiday movies. Unlike most men I will spend days watching holiday movies on the Hallmark Channel, streaming films online and pulling out Christmas themed movies from my DVD collection.

This year I added a new DVD to my collection titled Santa Fake that stars Damian McGinty, Heather Morris, Judd Nelson, John Rhys-Davies, Jeff Fahey and Tony Amendola. The film was released for purchase on December 3rd, 2019. The film is not rated.
A classic Christmas movie full of holiday music, sentimental romance, family-friendly comedy, and colorful holiday spirit, SANTA FAKE brings holiday cheer with top-notch musical numbers and brilliant performances by a delightful cast that will enchant the whole family.
Pat Keeley (Damian McGinty, “Glee;” Celtic Thunder), an undocumented Northern Irish immigrant has made his way to NYC where he is taken in, unwittingly, by a crime boss (John Rhys-Davies). Asked to deliver two mysterious briefcases, nai?ve Pat in a panic ends up in the wrong destination: Santa Fe, New Mexico. Santa Fe gives him a home and a job as the shopping mall Santa Claus, allowing him to hide in plain sight from both the authorities and the gangsters he is trying to evade. As Pat gets wrapped up deeper into the spirit of Christmas and his role as Santa Claus, he finds that the phony white beard and big red suit are more than just a handy disguise, but instead his real destiny.
Check out the official movie trailer above.
I enjoy comedies and they’re my preferred movie genre. With that said, I don’t enjoy slap-stick comedy where there is no interesting story line. Santa Fake is a great holiday movie that will put you into the Christmas spirit. The film is well-written, has an entertaining story line, engaging characters that draw you in and it will have you laughing from start to finish. It’s one of those “make you feel good” type’s of movies.
If you enjoy holiday flicks and comedies I think you’ll really appreciate Santa Fake. A great one to add to your movie collection or buy the DVD and gift it to someone on your holiday gift giving list.

This sounds like a cute movie to watch. I am sure that my whole family would enjoy it.
I love watching holiday movies and I have not heard of this one until I read your post. I will have to check this one out thanks for sharing.
My sister-in-law is a nut for the Hallmark or Lifetime Christmas movies. She can watch them over and over, lol. This sounds up her alley.
Sounds interesting but I am not a Christmas movie watcher. Now my mother would watch dozen times before the end of the year. She can spend all day with these types of mopvies
