About Dear Santa
Gordon Covington is a man who tries to make time for his family despite the demands of his job. But sometimes Covington's boss prevents him from keeping the promises he makes to his kids, and when he misses spending Christmas with the family, an elf named Randy decides to teach Gordon a lesson by turning him into someone else who has to work on Christmas -- Santa Claus.
Directed by Fred Olen Ray, Dear Santa leans on a strong ensemble — D.L. Green, Harrison Myers, Debra Rich — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about family titles of 1998.
