Jonathan Taylor Thomas stars as Jake Wilkinson, a self-absorbed
college student who, just days before Christmas, awakens to find
himself stranded in the middle of the California desert, wearing
a Santa suit and a white beard glued to his face. The butt of
a payback by the football team, who thinks he double-crossed
them by not providing the correct answers to a finals test, Jake
has to find a way to get to New York by 6 p.m. on Christmas Eve
and catch up with his girlfriend, Allie (Jessica Biel), who is
on the road with school stud Eddie (Adam La Vorgna), or risk
forfeiting the vintage Porsche his father (Gary Cole) promised
if his son comes home for the holidays. As Jake desperately hitchhikes
his way east, the people he meets unwittingly set into motion
a comedy of errors as they look to Santa for help and advice.
