Christmas

Arnold Schwarzenegger is attached to a new Christmas comedy, a nod to his 1996 holiday favorite Jingles All the Way. The news, reported by Gizmodo, marks a return to the seasonal comedy genre for the action star, and movie fans are sharing the story and speculating about what the project will be.

Artist Tina LeCour has released a new festive piece titled Christmas Owl Wishes, an owl-themed winter illustration now available as a print through her online shop. She is promoting the work ahead of the holiday season, tagging it with Christmas, winter and nature themes. The piece is aimed at holiday decorators and bird and nature art lovers looking for seasonal gifts.

A first teaser has been released for 'The Man with the Bag,' a holiday heist film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as Santa Claus, alongside Alan Ritchson. The clip shows the action star taking on the Christmas role, drawing attention ahead of the film's release. Commentary so far focuses on the novelty of Schwarzenegger casting as Santa and the film's blend of festive and heist elements.

The BBC comedy Amandaland, the spin-off from Motherland starring Lucy Punch as Amanda, is returning with a Christmas special that writers are calling the 'ultimate present' for fans. The festive episode follows the success of the sitcom's first series, which followed Amanda adjusting to a new life after her divorce. Details of the plot and cast remain limited, but the announcement is delighting Motherland fans ahead of the holiday season.
