The Man with the Bag (2026)

Christmas is approaching when professional thief Vance receives the strangest job offer of his career. Santa Claus has lost the magical bag that makes his annual journey possible, and the person responsible is a disgruntled elf with plans of her own. With the holiday in jeopardy, Santa turns to someone already familiar with breaking the rules, recruiting Vance from his Naughty List to steal the bag back before Christmas Eve.

Vance brings his daughter along and assembles an unconventional crew whose questionable talents may be exactly what Santa needs. With elves, reindeer, and Christmas magic joining their criminal expertise, the group prepares for an impossible holiday heist where failure could leave the entire world without Christmas. The Man with the Bag pairs Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Santa with Alan Ritchson’s unlikely thief in an action-comedy about redemption, family, and finding a second chance in the last place anyone would expect.
