This is truly the most naive, most ridiculous Christmas/ Sci-fi movie ever. Hold on. It may be the only Christmas/ Sci-fi movie ever.

The plot is that the martian children are sad. Sad because they can watch Earth TV, Christmas is coming up on Earth but Mars has no Santa and no Christmas. By implication they are Godless heathens who need some old school missionary work. They decide to abduct Santa. They capture him and two Earth kids - so that they won’t tell the authorities.

Santa doesn’t seem to mind all that much and maintains his jolly nature throughout. He infects the martians with joy and good will. They even get their own Santa, a Venusian who already had agreat sense of humor and goof-offedness. He’s green, he has antennae, and a red suit. He has to use a pillow for his mid-section like the Department store Santas but hey, he’s working in the weight gain by eating extra food pills. 

This must have been a made for TV movie. I can’t imagine that this movie was meant to be viewed more than once. It’s great camp though and fun to laugh at. The stock footage of space launches andmig fighters is a great touch. Really adds that realism.
