Golshifteh Farahani, Alain Chabat, Gaumont Team on ‘Santa & Cie’

 Chabat plays Santa — and not “Pere Noel,” as he’s called in French — a rather laid-back, hippy-ish version of St. Nick who runs a successful toy manufacture and delivery enterprise in the North Pole along with his nagging wife, Wanda (Audrey Tautou). When his top elf (Bruno Sanches) falls ill with a mysterious flu, taking 92,000 fellow elves with him, Santa must find a cure before Christmas day arrives.
