The Santa Incident

The Santa Incident is a made-for-cable-television movie that is scheduled to premiere on December 9, 2010 on Hallmark Channel.

Plot
Homeland Security's Asymmetrical Threats Division has unknowingly targeted Santa Claus (James Cosmo) for piloting an unidentified aircraft and flouting national sovereignty. Before fully identifying the target, their agent Ross (Michael McElhatton) fires a heat-seeking missile into Father Christmas' dash wings. His reindeer rocked, his jingle bells jangled, Santa crashes to Earth, where he is rescued by a couple of kids and nursed back to health by their mom Joanna (Ione Skye). Erickson (greg Germann) and Cunningham (Sean McConaghy), a pair of bumbling secret agents have also homed in on Santa's position, and they are determined to make Kris Kringle pay for their looking bad in a prior botched anti-alien interdiction.

The dumb luck duo repeatedly delay Santa, but he never takes his eye off the ticking clock. Christmas is coming -- and while Nick waits for a sign that his Elf Posse is coming to the rescue -- he busies himself doing work-in-trade around town. Bartering his time for batteries, microchips, and other materials, Santa magically makes stacks of toys with military precision and stashes them in a secret location. As the agents rush in to plunder Santa's ad hoc toy factory, they hear a faint sound: jingle bells. Santa's eyes twinkle and he smiles. He was never worried. He's been saving Christmas for children -- and loving it -- for centuries.
