Avery Quinn (Italia Ricci), a research assistant chasing her big break on the Christmas morning newscast, catches a home intruder in a red suit who insists he’s Chris — the son of Santa Claus (Luke Macfarlane). With a rash of Santa-costumed break-ins happening across town, Avery’s shot at anchoring the story of the season collides with Chris’s own first solo Christmas mission, and the two end up working together to untangle both mysteries.
Score & Composer
Multiple film and TV credit listings attribute the score for Catch Me If You Claus to composer Ari Posner, a Canadian film and television composer with a long resume of Hallmark holiday movies. As with most Hallmark original movies, no separate soundtrack album has been commercially released, and we could not independently verify a full scene-by-scene needle-drop list through a licensed music-tracking database — so rather than invent song titles, we’re disclosing that gap here instead of publishing an unverified track list.
Where to Stream
Catch Me If You Claus airs on the Hallmark Channel and is available to rent or buy digitally on Apple TV+ and Prime Video.
