After one of Ben’s cronies engages a reluctant Santa in combat, the latter is shown unleashing a series of winter-wonderland-worthy weapons upon various assailants, including a tree star to the eye, a bag of explosive coal and a garland he appears to wield with the intention of strangulation.

“Who is he? ‘Cause he’s not your typical mall Santa,” asks Ben.

“Santa, are you there?” one young resident of the house, Trudy Lightstone, asks through a two-way radio. “Daddy said you were very busy tonight.”

“Are you gonna help us, Santa?” she adds.

A battered Santa replies back, “Yeah, Trudy. You’re on my nice list.”
