'tis The Season TUBI Jolly With "Holiday Hits"

HOLIDAY-THEMED ORIGINALS INCLUDE
ALL-NEW FEATURE “MOST WANTED SANTA,” STREAMING FRIDAY, DECEMBER 3,
AND A FUN FAMILY LOOK AT “THE SECRETS OF CHRISTMAS: REVEALED,”
UNVEILING THE MOST GUARDED SECRETS OF SANTA CLAUS’ ENTIRE OPERATION,
PREMIERING MONDAY, DECEMBER 20

THE SECRETS OF CHRISTMAS: REVEALED to Air Across Tubi and FOX


(Editor's Note: Content may vary in markets outside of the US.)

Tubi ushers in the holiday season with two holiday films debuting on the platform next month. On Friday, Dec. 3, all-new Tubi Original MOST WANTED SANTA begins streaming. Then, on Monday, Dec. 20, all-new family-friendly THE SECRETS OF CHRISTMAS: REVEALED premieres on both Tubi and FOX (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT).

Both originals come to Tubi as part of its special “Holiday Hits” programming, which includes nearly 500 titles such as “Jingle All the Way,” “The Nutcracker,” “Jingle All the Way 2” and “Black Nativity,” among several other titles.

In MOST WANTED SANTA, premiering Friday, Dec. 3, FBI Agent Harper Winslow (Denyce Lawton, “House of Payne,” “The Hot Zone: Anthrax“) teams up with Los Angeles Police Detective Carly Lopez (Teresa Castillo, “General Hospital”) to hunt the mysterious “Santa” who keeps stealing multi-million dollar works of art during the holiday season. Things get complicated when Harper realizes that her new friend and fellow art lover, handsome and wealthy Christopher North (Donnell Turner, “General Hospital”), has become her #1 suspect. MOST WANTED SANTA also stars Kate Watson (“Killer Advice”), Mark Lawson (“General Hospital”) and Carolyn Hennesy (“General Hospital”).

Premiering Monday, Dec. 20, THE SECRETS OF CHRISTMAS: REVEALED exposes earth shattering revelations of how Santa Claus pulls off the most magical day of the year, after a massive data breach results in the release of millions of secret documents revealing the confidential inner-workings and mysteries of Santa’s entire Christmas operation -- from his hidden network of spying elves, to Mrs. Claus’ covert role in the organization, and evidence pointing to Santa’s own magical abilities. Christmas experts, contributors and enthusiasts examine the avalanche of data and share top-secret findings of their investigations. As each secret is unpacked, including “How do reindeers fly?” and “What’s the line between naughty and nice?,” a gripping audience play-along is provided, layering in pieces of information that all build up to a final reveal exposing the biggest secrets of Christmas.

MOST WANTED SANTA and THE SECRETS OF CHRISTMAS: REVEALED join other titles as part of Tubi’s special holiday programming available all month, which includes nearly 500 titles totaling nearly 600 hours of content. Viewers will be treated to holiday titles, including Tubi Original “A Chance for Christmas,” “Die Hard 2,” “Jingle All the Way,” “Jingle All the Way 2,” “Black Nativity,” “While You Were Sleeping,” “Mariah Carey’s All I Want for Christmas Is You,” “Saving Santa,” “Nothing Like the Holidays,” “Christmas Cupid,” “Holiday in Handcuffs,” “My Adventures with Santa,” “Charlie’s Christmas Wish,” “Black Christmas,” “He-Man & She-Ra: A Christmas Special,” “The Happy Elf,” “Once Upon a Time at Christmas,” “Merry Wishmas,” “The Nutcracker,” “Gordon Ramsay’s Ultimate Christmas,” “A Baby for Christmas,” “The Christmas Cabin,” “A Very Country Christmas,” “Christmas Wedding,” “A Christmas in Vermont,” “Christmas Twister,” “A Cinderella Christmas,” “Christmas Lodge,” “A Merry Friggin’ Christmas,” “Saving Christmas” “Snowglobe” and “Noel.”

Tubi has more than 35,000 movies and television series from more than 250 content partners, including every major studio, in addition to the largest offering of free live local and national news channels in streaming. The platform gives fans of entertainment, news and sports an easy way to discover new content that is available completely free.
