Directed by Panta Mosleh, in the holiday romance film ‘Return to Santa,‘ a hopeful and dreamy eight-year-old Jake writes a letter to Santa Claus with all his most fantastical wishes. But when the letter gets lost in the North Pole, young Jake wakes up disappointed, and no longer a believer. Decades later Santa discovers the misplaced letter and immediately sets out to make things right. Now an adult, Jake is about to have his life turned upside down when the appearance of his childhood wishes clash with his practical life. All while his childhood best friend Julie rather unexpectedly moves back to town. As Santa continues to check off Jake’s list, Jake and Julie combine forces to anticipate each new wish’s chaotic consequences, all while growing closer to each other – and possibly leading Jake closer to his most important childhood dream.
