Overview
On Christmas Eve an explosion lights up the sky as charred presents and sleigh-bells tumble to the ground. A catastrophe in Lapland could spell curtains for Christmas as we know it. With Tim Key as a brusque and self-centred Santa and Tom Basden as his precocious elf, Anthony, this is a biting alternative Christmas comedy with a pitch-black heart.
