He also shared he was excited about working with Amazon on the project, adding, “I can’t wait to share all of this Christmas cheer with each and every one of you.”
The holiday movie follows a whimsical, action-packed storyline. When Santa’s magical bag is stolen, he enlists Vance, a former thief on his “naughty list,” to help retrieve it.

This marks Schwarzenegger’s return to Christmas films after nearly 30 years. His last holiday movie, “Jingle All the Way” (1996), became a beloved classic.
In the film, he played a father desperately trying to find a Turbo Man action figure for his son on Christmas Eve. The movie featured a strong cast, including Sinbad, Rita Wilson, Phil Hartman, Robert Conrad, and Martin Mull.
Off the screen, in December 2023, Schwarzenegger shared a video on TikTok of his annual visit to the Hollenbeck Youth Center in Boyle Heights, Los Angeles, where he gave out Christmas gifts to families and children.
“There is a reason I have been handing out presents at the @hollenbeckyouthcenter in Boyle Heights for over 30 years. When I first came to America, my friends at Gold’s Gym were so generous. They brought me in during Christmas time and made me feel so happy and included,” he wrote in the caption.

In the video, Schwarzenegger could be seen handing out gifts, chatting with families, and posing for photos, further showcasing his commitment to spreading joy during the holiday season.
Speaking about his first Christmas experience in the U.S., he recalled how he celebrated the season with his gym friends.
“They invited me to their house. Fantastic. They gave me Christmas gifts, they had this beautiful Christmas tree and I felt so included here in America, even though I was a foreigner, I just came to this country,” he said.

He continued, “So I will never forget that kind of sweetness and kindness and inclusion, so I wanted to do the same thing when I had the money. So this is why for the last 30-something years I’ve been coming out here…It makes me feel good that I can share the kindness and inspire other people to do the same thing.”
From festive transformations to heartfelt gestures, Arnold Schwarzenegger proves he’s not only a cinematic icon but also a source of joy and inspiration during the holiday season.
