synopsis

Willie T. Stokes is a washed-up, wise-cracking Department Store Santa who can't help but be more naughty than nice.

Here Santa and his Elf find their annual heist endangered by a pesky store manager, a savvy mall detective, a sexy Santa fan and an innocent but beleaguered 8-year-old misfit who decides to believe that Willie--as intoxicated, acid-tongued and felonious as he seems to be--is the real Santa he's been seeking.
