A holiday heist

The story brings Santa and a thief together after his bag is stolen. Adam Shankman directs from a screenplay by Allan Rice. Amazon’s announced cast also includes Liza Koshy, Kyle Mooney, Jane Krakowski and Ken Jeong.

The December 2 global release is confirmed in Amazon’s official film guide. Check the title page for current rating, runtime and viewing access; no unverified runtime or precise launch hour is stated here.

Watch through Prime Video

Open Prime Video on a supported television, streaming player, phone, tablet or computer and search the exact title. Check the title page in your country for current availability, audio, subtitles and age rating. If a release is still upcoming, add it to your watchlist.

Prime Video is an app rather than a numbered DIRECTV channel. Use an eligible subscription on a supported device. Before paying again, review the membership or bundle you already have. Our guide to Prime Video trial terms explains eligibility and renewal points to check; this page does not promise a trial to every viewer.

Prepare for release day

Confirm that the title is included with your subscription rather than a separate rental or purchase. Review the final price and any advertising or channel add-ons in your account. For series, check the episode list rather than assuming every episode releases together.

For live TV alongside apps, compare DIRECTV options or call American TV at 1-855-690-9884.
