The movie’s synopsis reads: “When Holly (Megan Hilty) returns home for Christmas expecting the same as any other year, she’s blindsided to learn her family’s department store is on the brink of foreclosure. To keep the business going, Holly fills in as Santa’s Helper and meets the surprisingly young and handsome Nick (Noah Mills), who has been hired to play Santa at the store this year. Their undeniable chemistry and charisma draw in big crowds, until suddenly, Nick disappears. As Christmas day inches closer, Holly scrambles to find Nick with only one clue – his misplaced black boot. “Santa’s Boots” is produced by Front Street Pictures, with Barbara Lieberman and Charles Cooper as executive producers. Shawn Tolleson directs with a script written by Shannon Phipps and Shawn Tolleson.”

In an interview with IBT, Brooks (who plays Jenny) said that her character was a different kind of character than she often plays. She said, “That was a fun character for me because she’s a little bit more of a tomboy, which is sort of a stretch — it might actually be my first tomboy. She had a romance and things are kind of falling apart a little bit, and she’s trying to kind of decide if she needs to rekindle an old flame or let things go. So, Jenny has quite a transition in this movie.”
Hilty told ET about the movie: ” It’s kind of a Cinderella story but she’s not Cinderella, which I love; she’s the prince in this movie. That’s what I really liked. She’s a very strong woman. She’s very independent. She is extremely ambitious and I feel she’s very much like myself. But she also has this little soft spot that Noah’s character, Nick, kind of pulls out of her at Christmastime.”
