Just the title alone shows how cool cinema was back then. You don't see these kind of topics nowadays, it is a real shame.

This is not a good movie per say, but it's a hilarious one and definitely worth watching. It has lots of Christmas Spirit and if you can watch that polar bear scene without laughing, you're not human. Here's my review from when I watched it some weeks ago:
"Ever since Cinemassacre reviewed this back forever ago, I have wanted to watch this. It is also the film that has been the longest in my Tubi.TV queue, so it was about god damn time I got down to watch this. From the opening sequence, you know you are in for a blast. It is not your average blast of Christmas joy, that is for sure. This is more of the quirky, fun and wholesome blast. Just listen to that theme song, how can you not just sing Hooray for Santy Claus while listening to that? Anyways, this is a weird movie. Santa Claus gets kidnapped by these ridiculous-looking Martians and is forced to live on Mars to be the Santa of that planet, and what does Santa do? As the title suggests, he conquers them, but not through violence. Oh no, this Santa is too good for that. He conquers them through kindness like he is some second coming of Jesus. I love the Santa in this movie. He has the most classic look possible, and he brings me a lot of Christmas spirit. If you can get through all the stock footage and slow parts, you will be rewarded with a quirky and fun Christmas adventure that has one of the funniest scenes I have ever seen that includes the worst-looking polar bear ever and a ridiculous robot. Fantastic despite what my rating may suggest." 1.5/5 despite the low score, it's still fantastic in its own right.

Well, that was...unique.
We have a polar bear who killed another polar bear and put on his skin like a pelt.
We have the U.N. putting a space mission together, which never gets mentioned again in the movie, like the writers just forgot about it.
Santa Claus takes his captivity really well, like he's always high. In fact, he transmits his high telepathically through dad jokes.
And everyone just knows it's Martians that did it. And wouldn't you know it, Martian food comes in pill form lol
And, for a race with interstellar travel, the Martians are kind of dumb.

Another Tom Holland? There is the Tom Holland that directed Fright Night/Child's Play and the one who currently plays Spiderman.
I've seen this movie but it was forever ago so I don't remember much about it. Was stupid but entertaining from what I recall.
