While this is by no means an instant Christmas Classic or anything, and only really ever breaks out of B-movie status, it is still a fun, fast-paced, wacky film with some decent story telling, decent effects, and solid acting.
Shatner delivers, as can be expected, as well as George Buza, who plays Santa Clause.
The story is a little choppy, which is the norm for an anthology-type movie, and in the case of this one the story's are intermingled together, with the endings all happening at the end of the film as opposed to their own respective storylines.
The direction, however, is not without understanding and as the movie progresses you quickly see how the stories start to impact each other.
My only real complaint is the lack of a climax. While I get the ending, the other stories just kind of....ended. What was the primary reason behind all the craziness that holiday season in Bailey Downs? I would have liked to see a primary villain (Krampus perhaps?). While the stories are connected they are not really dependant on each other and their connections are more coincidental.
I would have liked to see a final act that showed that it was perhaps Krampus himself that was behind it all.
