New Movie My Secret Santa Debuts On Netflix Wednesday December 3, 2025

A determined single mom in need of a job to send her daughter to snowboarding camp disguises herself as a man in order to get hired as a seasonal Santa — like Mrs. Doubtfire in the reverse. But when she starts to fall for her boss at a luxury ski resort, complications arise that could cut this busy holiday season short.

When her daughter is accepted to an elite snowboarding camp at Sun Peaks ski resort, Taylor (Breckenridge) is desperate to make ends meet. Enlisting the help of her friends, she designs prosthetics to transform her into a rosy-faced man of a certain age. Why? So she can land a seasonal job as the resort’s Santa. When she gets the gig, everything seems to be coming up Taylor — until she meets a charming man at the resort named Matthew (Eggold), who, it turns out, manages Sun Peaks. Though she initially rebuffs him, there’s clearly chemistry between the two. But will her Santa-suited deception keep her from truly connecting with Matthew?

Starring Virgin River’s Alexandra Breckenridge and Ryan Eggold (New Amsterdam), My Secret Santa is the latest piece of holiday cheer from The Princess Switch franchise director Mike Rohl. The movie also stars Tia Mowry of Sister, Sister fame and was co-written by Carley Smale and Ron Oliver, who ushered in Lindsay Lohan’s return to acting with 2022’s Falling for Christmas.

My Secret Santa debuts on Netflix Wednesday December 3, 2025.

Jingle Bell Heist

2025 Netflix

Rated: Unrated

Length: 1 hr 36min

Christmas ~ Comedy ~ Romance

Directed by: Michael Fimognari

Starring: Olivia Holt, Connor Swindells, Lucy Punch and Peter Serafinowicz.

“Tis The Season To Give And Take.

FROM NETFLIX TUDUM:

Two down-on-their-luck hourly workers reluctantly form an alliance to rob one of London’s most illustrious department stores on Christmas Eve. As they hatch their plans, the pair start to realize there are sparks between them, and they’re not from the twinkly holiday lights around jolly London town. The Netflix original holiday film Jingle Bell Heist stars Olivia Holt (Heart Eyes) and Connor Swindells (Sex Education). The film was directed by Michael Fimognari (To All the Boys: P.S. I Still Love You), and co-written by Abby McDonald (Bridgerton) and Amy Reed (Diary of a Future President).

When Sophia Martin (Holt) moved to London from Philadelphia to care for her mother after a cancer diagnosis, she expected life across the pond to be a bit more affordable. Stuck caretaking while working two jobs, Sophia’s at her wit’s end when she learns her mother’s surgery won’t be covered by insurance. Desperate for a quick payday, she resorts to robbing her horrible boss, Maxwell Sterling (Serafinowicz), only to be caught by Nick O’Connor, a former security consultant turned phone technician.

Nick has no reason to turn Sophia in, though. He’s more interested in teaming up with her to land funds to take care of his daughter after his recent divorce. So Sophia and Nick form an alliance out of desperation, but, as the pair begin to plan the ultimate seasonal scam, a holiday heist at a posh department store, their scheming relationship might just turn into something more.

The Review:

I watched this last night (Friday November 28,2025), the day after Thanksgiving, also known as Black Friday. The official battle cry day of The Holidays. I wasn’t really in a Christmas mood yet being a little overwhelmed by how quickly Christmas was going to arrive. I looked for a movie in vain, which is incredibly odd because I have numerous streaming platforms to access, and numerous lists of movies to watch to review, including a growing Christmas/Holiday Movie List. But I wasn’t quite ready to watch a Christmas movie yet. Then I saw Jingle Bell Heist on Netflix, it is high up on my Christmas list of movies to watch, and was #2 on Netflix’s Top Ten Movies…..

Alrighty then, Christmas movie it is…..

I gave in and tried to get in the mood as Jingle Bell Heist started, honestly I felt more like The Grinch. The Movie starts with Sophia and Nick in a Department store Christmas Eve as the lights are getting turned off. They turn to each other and, Jinx Jinx they owe each other a coke as they both start to say, “You don’t have to do this…….”. Then we are transported back in time to two weeks earlier as Sophia is walking to work. She comes upon a man and his daughter busking, playing Holiday tunes on their violins when a grumpy old Grinch guy says, “You can’t do that here, take it somewhere else.”

Right away Sophie (Olivia Holt) grabbed my attention as she watched, then bumped into the old Grinch guy, promptly heists his wallet, takes out the cash and gives it to the buskers as she says, “Merry Christmas”. That was it, Jingle Bell Heist and Olivia Holt had my full undivided attention. I love the Underdogs and Sophie and Nick (Connor Swindells) sure have the world working against them. As their troubles unfolded before me, they instantly had my empathy. Both trying to lift themselves up out of their situations financially, working at jobs with bosses they don’t like. Both trying to look out for and take care of their families.

Sophie and Nick cook up a scheme to “get the money” but that is just the beginning of this Christmas Caper Roller Coaster Ride. There is more going on than meets the eye, everywhere we look and every step of the way, as these two plan a Holiday Heist. Unexpected twists and turns right up until the very end in this Christmas Rom-Com! In the end I enjoyed the Jingle Bell Ride! Why are you still reading this?

Turn off the lights and devices,

Make some popcorn,
