About this movie

In the spirit of the season, this hilarious comedy adventure celebrates the
believer in all of us. Jake Wilkinson (Jonathan Taylor Thomas), a self-centered college
student, has one thing on his mind -- get home for Christmas dinner or forfeit the vintage
Porsche his father promised him. Just days before his deadline, Jake awakens in the California
desert -- stranded and penniless, wearing a Santa suit and white beard! Desperate to claim his
gift, he flies, crawls, cons, races, bullies, and even sleighs his way east. But his nonstop
mission turns into a nonstop comedy of errors as a multitude of colorful and offbeat strangers
look to "Santa" for help and kindness. The closer Jake gets to home, the
closer he gets to the true meaning of Christmas and the importance of family. I'LL BE
HOME FOR CHRISTMAS is a trip your entire family will enjoy taking all year long!
