Info in Movie News | Who says Christmas has to be all warm and cozy? This holiday season, Arnold Schwarzenegger is bringing some serious muscle to the festivities in The Man With The Bag, an action-comedy that reimagines Santa Claus like never before. Teaming up with Reacher star Alan Ritchson—who’s just as built as you’d expect—this duo is about to give us a Christmas movie unlike any other.
According to Collider, The Man With The Bag follows Santa as he scrambles to recover his stolen magic sack—the one that makes Christmas happen. To pull it off, he enlists Vance (Ritchson), a reformed thief who’s spent years on the naughty list. With Vance’s daughter, a ragtag crew of misfit elves, and Santa himself along for the ride, they’ll have to pull off a festive heist to save the holiday. Think Ocean’s Eleven, but with more tinsel, gingerbread, and reindeer.
The movie also stars Awkwafina in a yet-to-be-revealed role, and with her signature comedic energy, we’re hoping she’s one of Santa’s elves. Directed by Adam Shankman (Hairspray, A Walk to Remember), the film is produced by Amazon MGM Studios and is set to hit theaters on October 3, 2025, before eventually streaming on Prime Video.
Schwarzenegger took to Instagram earlier this year to share his excitement, saying that working with Ritchson and Shankman has been an absolute blast. “New York City is an amazing host, and I can’t wait to share all this Christmas cheer with each and every one of you,” he wrote.
With a mix of action, comedy, and holiday spirit, The Man With The Bag might just be the unexpected Christmas hit of 2025. Are you ready to see Santa in full action-hero mode?
