Plot Synopsis

'Twas the night before Christmas at Avery Quinn's when her slumber's disrupted by someone who breaks in. She creeps through the house to check out the clatter and spies a Santa-clad man she thought would be fatter. Avery jumps into action and ties him up tight, but he pleads for his freedom so he can finish the night. He claims to be Chris, Santa's own son, who's got to get going and finish his run. His dad will be angry and kids will be sad, if they rise Christmas morning with no gifts to be had. Avery thinks he's the Santa Crook who's been on the news and is bound and determined to not let him loose. The aspiring news anchor gets a great thought -- she'll take him to the cops and tell them he's caught! Solving this crime wave will boost her career, but soon Avery and Chris will have much to fear. A series of mishaps have them take flight from the police and the bad guys searching all night. Avery and Chris go place to place as Avery begins to crack this big case. The two work together to figure it out and soon Avery sees she has nothing to doubt. Chris is who he claims and the pair slowly bonds and each helps the other to keep pressing on. Will Avery's news story make it to air, or will she be late and be in despair? Will Chris make his deadline and deliver all gifts, or will this Christmas be one that gets missed? *CREDITS: Executive Producers: Jonas Prupas, Joel Rice, Aaron Prupas; Director: Bradley Walsh; Writer: Nina Weinman.
