Santa’s ready to retire – he’s seen the world, but he hasn’t really seen the world, you know? But he’s not going to leave the children of the world without a holiday mascot.
So he’s pulling a Tyra Banks and hosting a live reality competition to find his replacement. Seven wild and wacky holiday characters will pitch themselves to a judges panel of festive icons and then compete in improvised (and vicious) Top Model-inspired competitions.
Which wannabes will be nice and which will be naughty (comedically)? Only one will win the right to drive the reindeer sleigh and become Santa Claus’ Next Top Holiday Mascot!

A true holiday favorite, this beloved comedy classic features renowned composer John Williams' charming and delightful score performed live to picture, conducted by David Newman. Macaulay Culkin stars as Kevin McCallister, an 8-year-old boy who's accidentally left behind when his family leaves for Christmas vacation, and who must defend his home against two bungling thieves. Hilarious and heart-warming, Home Alone is holiday fun for the entire family!

An angel is sent from Heaven to help a desperately frustrated businessman, George Bailey, by showing him what life would be like if he had never existed. But in this version, the Angel hit her head on the way down to Earth and jumbled up George’s memories. Now, she needs help from the audience to remind him of his wonderful memories and realize it’s a wonderful life!
The audience will write down the memories they want to see played out before the show, the Angel will read them out loud from a bucket, and the improvisers must act out the suggested memories for George Bailey and the Angel.
