A young boy accidentally mixes up his spelling and sends his Christmas list to Satan instead of Santa.[1][2]
In April 2023, it was announced that Bobby Farrelly would be directing and producing the film, with Peter Farrelly as producing along with Jeremy Kramer, for Paramount Pictures. The Farrelly Brothers and Ricky Blitt have written the script from an original idea by Dan Ewen.[3][4]
The film is Black's second Christmas film, after The Holiday in 2006; it is also the actor's second collaboration with Farrelly, after the 2001 film Shallow Hal.[5]
The cast was set in March 2023 with Jack Black in the lead role. Post Malone was also cast in an unspecified role.[6]
Principal photography began in March 2023 in Atlanta and Decatur, Georgia, where Decatur Square was transformed into an outdoor Christmas festival.[7][8] In July, production was halted because of the 2023 actors' strike.[9]
Dear Santa is scheduled to be released on Paramount+ and digital platforms on November 25, 2024.[10][11]
