Arnold Schwarzenegger is Santa Claus in new trailer for The Man with the Bag

November 2, 2026 by Amie Cranswick

Ahead of its release this December, just in time for the holiday season, Prime Video has released a new trailer, poster and images for the festive comedy The Man with the Bag.

Arnold Schwarzenegger stars as Santa, who is forced to enlist the help of a thief on his naughty list to find his iconic red sack after its stolen by a rogue elf.

Directed by Adam Shankman, the cast also includes Alan Ritchson, Berkeley James, Michael Cyril Creighton, Liza Koshy, Kyle Mooney, Jane Krakowski, Ken Jeong and Awkwafina. Check out the trailer below…

When Santa’s (Schwarzenegger) iconic red bag is stolen by a rogue elf with a grudge (Awkwafina), Christmas is suddenly at risk. With his biggest night of the year fast-approaching, Santa recruits a thief (Ritchson) from his ‘Naughty List’ who quickly assembles a crew of criminally skilled misfits — with a little help from elves and reindeer — to pull off the most unexpected heist of their lives.

Packed with holiday magic, big laughs, and plenty of heart, THE MAN WITH THE BAG is a holiday heist adventure about second chances, unlikely friendships, and discovering that sometimes even Santa needs a little help delivering Christmas.
