Must Be Santa

Resumé of History:

Must Be Santa, a 1999 Canadian television film, portrays the story of Floyd Court (Arnold Pinnock) who is selected as the successor to Santa Claus. Robert Sherrin produced the film while Brad Turner was director.

At the time of its release, it was considered to be one of the most expensive such projects ever produced by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. It was made more expensive when production of the film was interrupted in February 1999 by a strike of the CBC's technicians. Production resumed in May after a labor settlement.

Joe Flaherty makes an appearance as his SCTV character Count Floyd.

The film won a Gemini Award in 2000 for Best Visual Effects.
