Santa & Pete (1999)

Charming!

This made-for-Tv movie is based on the myths of St. Nicholas and the Netherland's Zwarte Piet, or Black Pete. It does a charming job of explaining many of the origins of the myths associated with Santa Claus, how he came to use reindeer, how he aquired his traditional outfit, how stockings came to be used and many others.
This is a charming, multi-cultural tale that leaves you feeling all warm and fuzzy. December 27, 2007

Great Family Viewing

Santa & Pete combines drama and comic relief, life lessons, and a vision of faith's rewards. Great entertainment for young and old alike. A healthy movie for children to see and a delight for parents to view with their kids.
This is an especially heartwarming tale for the holidays that can be enjoyed anytime and enjoyed over and over again! November 4, 2007

Santa and Pete

This movie is one that is so different. It brings together the true meaning of how Santa began and how he got his reindeer, suit of clothes, it adds religion to it and all walks of life and is very culture orginity...which is something lacking in our world today...my whole family loved it and watched it many many times over the holidays January 9, 2007

Should Be a Christmas Classic for Kids

If you are looking for a very imaginative Christmas movie, this one is for you and your kids. Okay, I admit that it plays the facts quite loosely, but the story is so clever this movie should be a Christmas classic. It follows St. Nicholas from ancient times through all the nooks and turns that it might have taken to arrive at the modern traditions of Santa Clause. Parents will laugh at some of the imaginative ways this movie conceives for the origin of Santa traditions, and kids will love the story just because it is the story of Santa! December 27, 2006

Don't miss seeing this movie!!!

I first saw this movie about three years ago on network TV. I was lucky enought ot record it then but hated fast forwarding through the commercials again and again. I loved it and never thought of looking here to find it.

It is a wonderful story that give a neat little insight on where Santa got some of his stuff like flying reindeer. I highly recommend see this movie. December 12, 2005
