With Father Christmas contemplating retirement, the time has come for his heir to assume control of the family business. But in this affable yuletide romantic comedy, he can't take the reins until he's found himself a wife. Steve Guttenberg may not be everyone's first choice for Santa Jr. Yet he's ably supported by Crystal Bernard as the stressed-out single mother and rather cynical advertising executive whose son, Dominic Scott Kay, sends a letter to the North Pole requesting a new dad. Of course it's corny, but it delivers everything the title promises. The sequel, Meet the Santas, was completed a year later.
Plot Summary
Comedy drama starring Steve Guttenberg and Crystal Bernard. Single mum and busy executive Beth has little time for romance and the fantasies of Christmas. When her young son writes to Santa asking for a new dad, a surprising applicant for the job arrives.
