This is the story about a small one industry Alaskan town named Willow Creek. Unfortunately, the cannery has been closed and this impacts everyone. It is looking like a bleak Christmas for the Willow Creek residents when many miles away in California Al, a former resident, is filling up a truck to play Santa to the Willow Creek residents. When Al's health takes a turn for the worse he convinces two of his employees to make the run in his stead. Pete and Ray are truck driving brothers who had a bit of a dispute over a girl which has put them on the outs. Pete's son ends up making the run to Alaska with them and through a series of flashbacks you learn what is at the heart of the brothers' dispute. Along the way they pick up an additional passenger, get into a few fights...both with each other and others, and in a true Christmas miracle a baby is birthed by a shepherd. The real question is will the brothers get the truckload of supplies to Willow Creek in time to save Christmas?
The brothers are played by none other than Dukes of Hazard alumnus John Schneider and Tom Wopat, who played wonderfully off each other as fighting siblings. The music was unique and one song of note that got me chuckling was "Barstools and babies don't mix, now I'm home by six."
I was happy to see Homer get his true Christmas miracle before he froze in his Santa suit!
This is an unusual Christmas movie to say the least, but it is filled with brotherly love, neighbor helping neighbor, and the spirit of Christmas. So, if you are looking for a non-mainstream Christmas film or are a huge Dukes of Hazard fan, this might be the Christmas movie for you.
For me this was a watch and delete, but I did enjoy it for it's uniqueness while it was on.
