Santa's Little Helper is a 2015 Christmas-themed comedy film starring WWE wrestler Mike 'The Miz' Mizanin, AnnaLynne McCord, Saraya-Jade Bevis, and Eric Keenleyside. The movie tells the story of Dax, a successful business professional, who loses his job just before Christmas. He soon finds himself on a mission to become Santa's Little Helper, facing different challenges in trying to earn a coveted position at Santa's Workshop.
Dax (played by Mizanin) is a somewhat brash and self-centered man, but he is in a loving relationship with his girlfriend, Eleanor (played by McCord), who shares his ambition to become successful. However, their relationship hits a snag when Dax loses his job just before Christmas, and Eleanor, who is also a big shot in the corporate world, gets promoted over him. Dax is devastated by this turn of events and decides to drown his sorrows at a bar, where he finds a peculiar job listing that piques his interest.
The job is for Santa's Little Helper, and the post required applicants to participate in a series of absurd and challenging competitions until only one is left standing. The winner gets a coveted position at Santa's Workshop, and for Dax, this seems like the perfect opportunity to redeem himself and regain his lost dignity. Although Eleanor thinks it's a bad idea, Dax decides to apply for the job anyway and sets out to face the challenges ahead.
With the help of his neighbor, Billie (Bevis), a tough and resourceful young woman, Dax sets out to tackle the absurd obstacles thrown his way. The challenges are varied and range from bizarre obstacle courses to unorthodox challenges, like gingerbread house building, and cupcake decoration. Despite Dax's ego getting in the way and his initial lackluster performance, he slowly starts to improve, and with Billie's unwavering support, he becomes stronger and more determined.
The competition heats up as Dax faces off with a few other candidates, including an overly enthusiastic office manager, a sweet and adorable young woman, and a former drill sergeant. Along the way, Dax and Billie find an unexpected ally in Santa Claus (played by Keenleyside), who seems to know exactly how things will play out.
As the competition draws to a close, the challenges become more intense, and Dax has to put everything on the line to win. However, after a series of obstacles that get increasingly difficult, and with the other candidates dropping like flies, Dax finds himself going head-to-head with the one person he least expected to face. The final challenge is an epic snowball fight to the finish.
Santa's Little Helper is a heartwarming and humorous movie that combines the magic of Christmas with hilarious antics and genuinely touching moments.
