What if your local mall Santa wasn’t just a grizzled old bearded dude, and in fact, the real bonafide Kris Kringle? As the classic film goes, Claus, who for some reason is scoping out department stores in New York during what is likely his busiest month, accidentally gets recruited to be a cheap facsimile of himself. In his role as Macy’s mall Santa, he amazes kids and customers alike with some of his old-fashioned Christmas razzle-dazzle. Of course, anytime you have an abundance of Christmas cheer, it’s only a matter of time before a Scrooge comes along to muck it all up for everyone.

Miracle on 34th Street Reviews

What the critics are saying:

  • “In the battle of the classic Hollywood Christmas movies, It’s A Wonderful Life feels charmingly ancient, fixed in an early-20th-century America that scarcely anyone today remembers first-hand. Miracle On 34th Street feels more modern, with slangy dialogue and naturalistic asides, and general awareness of how Christmas has become about the intertwined stresses of shopping and selling.” -Noel Murray, AV Club
