This year, Santa Claus (George Wendt) is too ill to assume the responsibilities of Christmas, so his daughter Mary Class/Claus (Jenny McCarthy) takes over the workshop. This causes tensions between Mary and Santa, as Mary believes both the technology and the operations of the workshop need serious updating while Santa believes the tradition of Christmas must be respected and adhered to. Coming back home to the city of Polaris after many years also leads to Mary reuniting with her mother (Lynne Griffin) and her old flame Luke Jessup (Ivan Sergei). A simple attempt to help out her sick father soon becomes a timely reminder of the life Mary left behind. And although Mary now has a successful business in New York City, as well as a boyfriend -- Grant Foley (Tobias Mehler) -- being back home with her parents, Luke and those hilariously empty-headed elves of Santa starts to pull at Mary's heart strings. Soon, Mary realizes that before she can save Christmas, Christmas may need to save her. I bought this movie and its sequel in December of 2010, with only the intention of updating my Christmas movie collection of that time. I did not expect to fall in love with this movie, nor for it to become a must-see every Christmas season since then. This movie has a great story, funny moments, romance, holiday fun and magical scenery (honestly it's worth watching this movie just to see the city of Polaris!). So if you are looking for a new movie to add to your Christmas collection, I highly recommend this one! Read more

Fine movie. Mainly for adults.. It's about Santa Claus. Good acting, fun show to watch. The story line is interesting.. about a woman who thinks she can change everything for the better; but, things are already the way they should be. Well-done. The girl who co-stars is enjoyable to watch in this movie. The girl on the front is the daughter to Santa Claus (in the movie,ha). Read more

This 2006 theatrical movie has an enjoyable *2.0 stereo soundtrack *Spanish subtitles *English Closed Captions *Trailers Jenny McCarthy plays (800-year-old) Santa Claus's daughter that goes by the [abbreviated] name of Mary Cla's. There is no mention of HER age, but with parents' ages approaching one thousand, she's probably [what?] 400 herself. Well, anyway, THAT said, being IN a fantasy-mode, living on another continent, I found this movie to be a refreshing twist on a familiar plot: "Great God! Santa is missing/sick/ amnesiastic." Where was I? Oh yeah, I'm an old guy living in Bavaria. I didn't recognize anyone's face but GEORGE "Norm!" WENDT from TV's CHEERS. A lot of money was spent on set design, location shots, and make up... and, it shows. George's Santa wig looks great. His beard looks real as well, maybe TOO real. Less than MY ideal, more like the "real" MIRACLE ON 34th STREET' one. There are PLENTY of reviews, on this site, for this movie. My review is probably repetative, but I'll echo the fact that this is a family movie without one single child on-screen, but DOES have plenty of child-like elves that even Scrooge would find entertaining for comic-relief. I bought this, and put it into a double disc box with the sequel (which has only Jenny McCarthy and three elves returning to repeat their roles). Different boyfriend, Santa, etc. Since I'm a rather "tall and rotund" fellow myself --- my wife is a foot shorter --- I found the most interesting, new, character in SANTA BABY TWO to be the female elf that is probably about 4'10"... and just TOO "hot" for The North Pole! Be a completist and buy BOTH, but the original is best! " N-o-r-m-! " The sequel is available, seperately as listed: Santa Baby 2 Santa Baby 2: Christmas Maybe / Christmas in Boston / Snowglobe Christmas in Boston/Santa Baby 2 Read more
Jenny McCarthy does a great job as a business woman and as Santa's daughter. I love her assistant also, and Ivan Sergio, how do you not love him? Anytime "Santa land" is in a movie the little girl in me wants to see the magic of it all. It's beautiful, and the movie is a good Christmas story. I recommend it if you love cheesy, warm Christmas movies. I do. Read more
