Summary

Merry Bingemas, one and all! On the ninth day of Bingemas, Sean Fennessey joins Jodi for a Christmas twist on the ‘Mrs. Doubtfire’ formula. This movie follows down-on-her-luck cookie chef/Santa Claus Taylor (Alexandra Breckenridge) and spoiled ski resort heir Matthew (Ryan Eggold) as they navigate rubber cheek prosthetics, exorbitantly priced snowboard school, stingy and horny landlords, and the profound impact a ski resort Santa Claus can have on a community.
