In a holiday season overflowing with feel-good flicks, Jack Black is here to remind us why sometimes a little chaos makes Christmas all the more memorable. In ‘Dear Santa,’ the new holiday comedy that’s poised to set the season ablaze, Black dons his most devilish persona yet. Imagine if your innocent letter to Santa went horribly wrong – and instead of Kris Kringle, a devil with Jack Black’s grin shows up. That’s exactly the premise, and it’s as wild as it sounds.
The film’s hilariously twisted story begins with a young kid mailing off his Christmas wish list. But there’s a problem: a single, fateful spelling error. Instead of Santa, his letter finds its way to Satan. Cue the arrival of Jack Black, who barrels into the kid’s suburban neighborhood, bringing all the fire and brimstone of the underworld. But what would Satan want with Christmas? Well, in Black’s hands, the answer is a devilish mix of pranks, mischief, and a scorched-earth holiday mission that’s anything but merry and bright.

Dear Santa comes from the comedic minds who gave us Dumb & Dumber, and they’re not holding back on this one. Channeling that same slapstick energy and off-the-wall absurdity, the film is a holiday gut-buster wrapped in bad behavior. Black’s antics turn Christmas traditions on their head, with scenes that see him chugging eggnog by the gallon, blowing up snowmen, and turning the local mall Santa’s workshop into a horror show.
The movie leans into a darker kind of holiday humor, one that feels like a jolt of fresh air in a landscape of feel-good Christmas movies. Think of it as The Nightmare Before Christmas meets Bad Santa, but with Jack Black’s trademark wild-eyed charm.
