Atlas Distribution Company announced a deal to nationally distribute the upcoming release of Mr. Santa: A Christmas Extravaganza in theaters December 6th! Starring comedic genius Tommy Davidson (In Living Color, The Proud Family), Geoffrey Owens (Power Book II: Ghost, Poppa’s House) and featuring Wakeema Hollis (Aurora: A Love Story, And Just Like That…).
Mr. Santa: A Christmas Extravaganza follows three music-loving teens clashing with the “popular” kids that are attempting to crush their annual Christmas show dreams. Inspired by the kids’ passion, Santa (Owens) hatches a plan and steps in as a substitute teacher. With the stakes higher than ever, delivering toys to a billion children suddenly seems easy compared to restoring teenagers' belief in the holiday spirit and saving Christmas before time runs out.
“The traditional distribution model doesn’t exactly work anymore so I was seeking an innovative, data driven distribution option and Atlas' expertise in family films makes them the ideal partner for Mr. Santa: A Christmas Extravaganza”, stated Noel Calloway, Writer/Director/Producer.
Produced by Ten Media and Jay Stern, Yandy Smith and Kristi Kilday, directed by Noel Calloway. Written by daughter-father duo, Kellen Calloway and Noel Calloway who also serves as a producer. The film and soundtrack features original Holiday music by Kenny Lattimore and Yandy Smith.

About Kellen & Noel CallowayThe Father-daughter writing team got a pretty early start when Kellen was just seven years old penning the children’s book ‘The Runaway Princess.’ The transition to screenwriting was pretty natural for Kellen so when Noel started working on the Mr. Santa script, the creative reunion made sense. The sixteen year old High School junior is a student athlete, artist and can now add screenwriter to her impressive resume. Noel always counts father and husband as his most important titles. Mr. Santa is his third feature film as Writer/Director, following Aurora: A Love Story, released in 2023 (now playing on Starz Networks) and his acclaimed debut film Life, Love, Soul. When he’s not working on a film he’s coaching his AAU girls basketball team with Kellen as his point guard.
