What would happen if one year Santa couldn’t keep his gift-delivering Christmas Eve appointment with all the children in the world? ‘La Navidad en sus manos’ a fun and endearing comedy for the whole family set in the days before Christmas and on Christmas Eve itself. An original twist on Christmas films featuring an insane adventure in which snowmen, Christmas carols, reindeer, presents, elves and, of course, the indispensable Santa Claus all play a part. A story about the most beloved person from the North Pole and an essential figure for children, as well as a great protagonist in the history of cinema, this time played by Santiago Segura.
