According to Deadline, the movie's about "When Santa's magic bag is stolen, he turns to his naughty list to find Vance, a former thief, to help him get it back."
The actor also starred in another holiday movie, 1996's "Jingle All the Way."
Adam Shankman is directing the movie.
No word on a release date for the film. Will we have to wait until next Christmas to see it?
