It’s that time of the year again. Time to dust off those Christmas DVDs and crank up that holiday cheer! If you are a little tired of the same old holiday movies, then you must watch Lionsgate’s all-new CGI animated movie Gotta Catch Santa Claus.

Synopsis: Funky music, holiday magic and a supersonic sleigh are all wrapped up in this CGI–animated family adventure starring William Shatner as the voice of Santa! Trevor is a true believer in the holiday spirit, so his skeptical best friend, Veronica, challenges him to show the world actual proof that Santa is real. Trevor and his friends embark on the adventure of a lifetime to catch Santa in action and reveal the true magic of Christmas. But they’ve got to find Santa before LeFreeze — a dim-witted monster who is carrying a serious 100-year-old grudge — and his snowman minions put Christmas on ice forever! Join the race to save Christmas in Gotta Catch Santa Claus, the jolly, jammin’, modern-day holiday classic destined to become a family tradition!

I was sent a copy of the DVD to review and it has been a huge hit at my house! What I love about Gotta Catch Santa Claus is that the kids set out to prove that Santa actually exists. Also, the animation and characters are adorable. The best part of the movie though is that the storyline can truly be enjoyed by the entire family! The movie features some catchy new holiday songs, a barrel of laughs, and tons of fun. Lucas has seen it at least a dozen times already. Even Mike likes it, though he wont admit it, but I have caught him singing the songs {lol}.


The DVD includes lots of great bonus features, including deleted scenes, behind-the-scenes Santa footage, cute sing-alongs, and more. If you want to wait to see it first before buying the DVD, you can catch it on ABC Family during their annual "25 Days of Christmas" programming block. Trust me though--you and your kids will want to buy it! Definitely add this one to your must watch Christmas movie lists…we sure did!
