Jingle All the Way Collection

Jingle all the Way is a 1996 American Christmas family comedy film directed by Brian Levant and starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sinbad, with Phil Hartman, Rita Wilson, Jake Lloyd, James Belushi and Robert Conrad. The plot focuses on two rival fathers, workaholic Howard Langston (Schwarzenegger) and postal worker Myron Larabee (Sinbad), both desperately trying to retrieve a Turbo-Man action figure for their respective sons on a last minute shopping spree on Christmas Eve. It was announced on February 11th, 2014 that a sequel Jingle All the Way 2 had gone into production in a joint production between WWE Studios and 20th Century Fox. None of the original cast are scheduled to return and instead the lead will be portrayed by comedian Larry the Cable Guy and WWE superstar Santino Marella, but will keep a similar plot as it's predecessor. The sequel will be a straight-to-DVD project and will be directed by Alex Zamm.
