Saint Nick of Bethlehem

I love movies based on true stories, and Saint Nick of Bethlehem is one that captivates and warms your heart. Inspired by Allen Smith, a real-life Santa Claus in central Pennsylvania, the film follows his journey from grief after losing his son to finding purpose by helping others. Set in Bethlehem, PA, the movie showcases local landmarks around Bethlehem and the Lehigh Valley which makes the movie all more special. The cast's chemistry brings a heartfelt emotion, delivering a story that makes you laugh, cry, and leave with love in your heart...and enough Christmas Spirit to light up the town. I will definitely be adding this movie to my yearly Christmas Movie watch list!

I was at the premiere of this movie and I can say this is the perfect holiday movie. The entire sold out appreciative audience agrees with me. This heartwarming film, based on a true life story, is sweet, funny, sometimes heartbreaking, and inspiring. It takes us from a dark period in Nick's life through many coincidences and changes to a satisfying conclusion. (And it even involves a reindeer) Great for the whole family. Daniel Roebuck leads a very talented cast. Shot in historic Bethlehem,PA, the location is the perfect place to set a Christmas film. If you are looking for a warm and well produced holiday film, I highly recommend it.
