Ernest Saves Christmas (1988)

In the whimsically chaotic world of Ernest P. Worell - a lovable, yet scatterbrained taxi driver prone to grandiose delusions - an extraordinary encounter with the famed "His Great Red Oneness, the Claus" sets the stage for an unforgettable holiday adventure. The jolly old Santa, drained of his magic and on the brink of retirement, lands in sunny Orlando, Florida, seeking Joe Carruthers, the man he's handpicked as his successor. But the road to passing the baton isn't as smooth as Santa hoped, as Joe's opportunistic agent and Santa's faltering memory conspire to derail their plans. In the midst of this holiday chaos, the unlikely hero Ernest, despite his bumbling ways, emerges as Santa's last beacon of hope. Teaming up with Harmony Star, a spirited young runaway with a heart of gold, Ernest embarks on a mad dash against time to salvage the spirit of Christmas. As the plot thickens, the duo must navigate a series of comic misadventures to ensure that the joy and wonder of the holiday season remains intact for generations to come. An enchanting blend of comedy and holiday magic, Ernest Saves Christmas is a rollicking ride through the true meaning of Christmas spirit.
