That Christmas Eve, Rick finds an old man in his house (Paul Hopper) claiming to be SantaClaus rooting through his refrigerator. Rick immediately had the man arrested for breaking and entering his home, and locks him up. This begins a night with "Santa" that could possibly revive the spark of the Christmas spirit in Rick.
The movie was released on October 27th, 2014.
