Disney's first new offering of the 2023 season takes us to Atlanta to find separated crisis counsellor/Christmas-averse Eddie (Ludacris) embroiled with the 'real' Santa Claus, who is being chased by a low-rent criminal gang trying to retrieve a crooked congressman's missing tablet. Although the plot might not be the usual festive fare, the film contains many signature Disney/Christmas elements, from the cute young daughter to the cynic rediscovering his Christmas mojo, but the film feels rather dialogue-heavy and struggles to maintain interest. The father-daughter relationship works well, but the film is a bit too light on the comedy and festive feel-good elements to make it a holiday classic.
