•Jingle All The Way
The true meaning of Christmas — desperate last-minute shopping — is the subject of the holiday-themed comedy.
Howard Langston (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is a mattress salesman with a bad habit of putting his work ahead of his family. His son Jamie (Jake Lloyd), who wishes Dad would pay more attention to him, wants only one thing for Christmas — a Turbo Man action figure, with all the accessories.
Howard promises both Jamie and his wife Liz (Rita Wilson) that there will indeed be a Turbo Man under the tree for Jamie on Christmas morning, but come Dec. 24, Howard realizes that he hasn’t actually bought the toy yet. Seemingly it would be no great problem to head on down to the toy store and pick one up, but it just so happens that Turbo Man has been the hottest ticket of the holiday season, and literally thousands of parents are scrambling for the last few action figures.
Jingle All the Way airs tomorrow, Dec. 19 at 9 p.m.
