The title character in this made-for-cable
comedy is a youthful slacker (
Nick Stabile) who has long been a source of disappointment and embarrassment for his famous jolly-old-elf father. Anxious to prove his worth,
Nick (as our hero is known) decides to clamber down a few chimneys just prior to Christmas Eve. Alas, his efforts coincide with a string of burglaries, and
Nick is promptly arrested by cops
Daryl Bedford (
Judd Nelson) and
Norm Potter (
George Wallace). As
Nick frets away the hours before Christmas under house arrest,
Bedford grows attached to
Nick's court-appointed attorney,
Susan Flynn (
Lauren Holly) -- and inevitably, the real burglar strikes again.
Santa Jr. was first telecast over the
Hallmark Channel on November 30, 2002.
