On this day, November 27, 1985, Santa Claus: The Movie premiered in theaters. Starring Dudley Moore as an overworked elf and John Lithgow as a greedy toy tycoon, the film combined holiday magic with a modern twist, exploring Santa’s origin story and his efforts to save Christmas.

Despite mixed reviews at the time, the movie has gained a nostalgic following for its whimsical portrayal of Santa’s journey and its festive atmosphere. Fun Fact: The first recorded Christmas celebration took place in Rome on December 25, AD 336, centuries before modern holiday traditions were born!
