Their attempt is successful, but to their horror, they discover that Santa loses a bit of his magic every time he's seen.

Reception


Commonsensemedia gave the film two stars, as they felt that it was "a fairly mundane addition to a holiday movie repertoire packed with classics and traditional favorites." Media Life Magazine panned Santa Hunters, criticizing it for its focus on commercialism, stating that "The show’s writer, Jamie Nash, and director, Savage Steve Holland, must never have read or seen “How the Grinch Stole Christmas,” because then they would know that Christmas isn’t just about getting presents and that it means a little bit more."
In contrast, the New York Times gave a more favorable opinion of the movie.
