Having spent most of his 80 years being a tough mug in Hollywood pictures, Bert Riley seems to have it all--glamorous friends, a well-earned retirement, an uncanny resemblance to Ernest Borgnine, and as many sweater vests as he has teeth. The one thing he's missing, however, is the chance to be called "Grandpa." But when his estranged daughter gets injured in an unfortunate accident and he finds himself looking after the granddaughter he barely knows, he just might get his chance. Katherine Helmond (WHO'S THE BOSS?, BRAZIL), Jamie Farr (M*A*S*H), and the Academy-winning Borgnine stars in this instant holiday classic.
For a dear old man on Christmas, the reward is being called Grandpa for the first time in his life. Eighty-year-old Bert Riley is a former movie tough guy living comfortably and surrounded by good friends -- all vets from Hollywood's Golden Age. With a scrapbook full of memories, life has been pretty good to him. But he never expected any more surprises out of it. That's before he receives word on Thanksgiving that Marie, his estranged daughter, is in the hospital following a car accident. What's more, Becca, the 10-year-old granddaughter he's never even met, is moving in with him! Stars: Ernest Borgnine, Katherine Helmond, Jamie Farr.

SNOW: This made-for-cable comedy takes place in the three days before Christmas. While training to be successor to Santa Claus at the North Pole, nerdy Nick Snowden loses his favorite reindeer, Buddy. Tracing the animal to a zoo in San Ernesto, California, Nick meets and falls for female zookeeper Sandy Brooks (Ashley Williams)--who in addition to being a kindred spirit would seem to be an ideal candidate for the future Mrs. Santa. Hiding his true identity, Nick moves into Sandy's boardinghouse, where he meets a streetsmart kid named Hector (Bobb'e J. Thompson). Although Hector stumbles upon the fact that the beardless Nick is actually St. Nick, he agrees to keep it secret and help Santa recover his reindeer. Meanwhile, Buck Seger (Patrick Fabian), the nasty big-game hunter who "kidnapped" Buddy in the first place, concocts a scheme to sell the poor animal for an exorbitant sum.
SNOW 2: BRAIN FREEZE: When a bad bout with amnesia leaves Santa (Tom Cavanaugh) unaware of his own identity, his helpers race to save Christmas in this holiday sequel that's fun for the whole family.
