The Secretary of Santa Claus

The Secretary of Santa Claus (2023) is a Russian holiday rom-com you can watch online on iFILM. Lisa dreads New Year's: every December the holiday brings her a fresh round of bad luck, each mishap sillier than the last.

Then, right before the celebration, a stranger named Timofey turns up claiming to be Santa Claus's personal secretary, ready to grant her any wish she likes. Lisa asks to ring in the new year beside the man she loves — the catch being she doesn't have one, and her standards for a future husband are sky-high. With the clock ticking toward midnight, Timofey throws himself into an increasingly frantic casting call for the right candidate. Denis Bazhenov directs and stars, with Ekaterina Gubanova opposite him. Easygoing festive viewing for anyone who wants their New Year served with a love story rather than a lesson.
