In the TV movie Last Chance for Christmas, Santa’s in a jam. It’s Christmas time and Prancer injured his hoof. It’s up to Santa’s stable hand John (Gabriel Hogan) to find a substitute reindeer. He finds one named Frankie but it turns out she belongs to a little girl and her single mom Annie, who unfortunately for John, doesn’t believe in Santa. While trying to convince Annie that Santa — and all that comes with him — truly exists, he falls in love with Annie, who slowly but surely learns to believe.
