Trailer for 'Father Christmas is Back'

In an interview, director Philippe Martinez stated:
"We all need uplifting stories to inspire us and a big Christmas comedy like Father Christmas Is Back is the perfect antidote to raise our spirits."
Father Christmas is Back was shot in the city of York in North Yorkshire and Howden, East Yorkshire.
