Arnold Schwarzenegger Becomes Santa Claus in New Christmas Movie

You blinked, the year flew by, and Prime Video is already announcing its Christmas movie – and with a very familiar face from the season. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who 30 years ago starred in the Christmas classic Jingle All the Way, is back in the holiday spirit with The Man with the Bag.

The new Christmas comedy has released a teaser trailer (above) and poster (below) and arrives on the platform on December 2nd, reuniting the star with Alan Ritchson in an adventure that mixes action, humor, and plenty of magic.

In the film directed by Adam Shankman , Santa's (Schwarzenegger) red sack is stolen by a rebellious and resentful elf (Awkwafina), putting Christmas at risk. To recover the magical item, Santa recruits Vance (Ritchson), a criminal on his "Naughty List," and enlists the help of his daughter and a group of misfits. Between elves, reindeer, and a high-stakes heist, the mission promises a new Christmas adventure – now with Schwarzenegger once again at the center of the festivities.
