Scrooge: A Christmas Carol

The movie also stars Scott Paige, Ashley Jensen and Celia Imrie.

The Noel Diary
Jacob Turner (Justin Hartley), a best-selling author, plans to spend Christmas settling the estate of his estranged mother.

Your Christmas or Mine?
A young student couple both decide to surprise the other at Christmas only to have to accidentally experience Christmas with each other’s families.

A sudden snow fall leaves them stranded apart.

Hotel for the Holidays
Georgia (Madelaine Petsch) is the manager of New York’s most charming hotel, the Hotel Fontaine.

The Santa Clauses
Scott Calvin (Tim AlleN) is on the brink of his 65th birthday and realising that he can’t be Santa forever. He’s starting to lose a step in his Santa duties, and more importantly, he’s got a family who could benefit from a life in the normal world, especially two sons, one that grew up in Lakeside, Illinois and one that grew up at the Pole. With a lot of elves, children and family to please, Scott sets out to find a suitable replacement Santa while preparing his family for a new adventure in a life south of the Pole.
