"What do Jewish ex-rocker Kallum and former Christian movie good girl Winnie have in common? They both hope to revive their careers by filming a Hope After Dark (think Hallmark Christmas Channel meets Skinimax) biopic of young Santa in the town of Christmas notch. If that description sounds like a lot going on, well, there is, and that's part of the fun of this chaotic Christmas stocking of tropes. While there are plenty of laughs and a delightful cast of secondary characters, the authors also tackle more serious subjects, such as the damage caused by purity culture, tabloid exploitation of child stars, and the most important question of our time: Is it even possible to make Santa sexy?" - Oprah Daily
