    A widowed grandfather shares the story of St. Nick with his young grandchildren in this tale of a man who brought the Old World tradition of gift giving into the New World. As the snow falls outside and Grandpa Nicholas (James Earl Jones) begins to weave his tale of wonder, the captivated children listen to the story of a Christian bishop names Sr. Nick (Hume Cronyn) whose small miracles brought warmth to the heart of believers throughout the Old World. When St. Nick is arrested by the Spanish government on suspicions that he is a spy, a kindly cook named Pete (Flex Alexander) risks his life to free the kindly miracle worker so that he may spread the word of brotherhood across the land. In time Pete is honored with the charge of becoming St. Nick loyal assistant, and together the pair travels to the New World to ensure that the tradition of sharing continues.

    A favorite for many yearsby Anonymous

    November 16, 2007: I recorded this off TV when it first came out in 1999. My daughters were 9 and 6 then, and it is one of the movies we HAVE to watch together every Christmas. They are 17 and 14 now, and pick this one out of the cabinet early every Christmas season. It's not Christmas until we wathc "Santa and Pete" They choose this as one of their all-time favorite Christmas movies, along with George C Scott's "A Christmas Carol" and "It's a Wonderful Life". Hume Cronyn is wonderful as Santa, and the themes of diversity, love, and generosity are simply and effectively portrayed. This may be just another obscure Christmas movie to some, but it will always be one of our favorites.
