WHAT
A hilarious mock-trial comedy in which Santa Claus is placed on the witness stand and the court must decide whether Christmas has become too commercial. The courtroom hears testimony from Santa, the Wise Men, a frantic modern shopper, a middle schooler who “represents the Christmas Spirit,” and an over-serious bailiff who forces everyone to rise at the wrong times.

THEME
Christmas is about Jesus, generosity, and compassion—not stress, shopping, or endless gift lists.

WHO
– JUDGE HOLLY (older child/youth)
– BAILIFF BAXTER (middle schooler who takes his job WAY too seriously)
– LAWYER JOY (defense attorney for “The Christmas Spirit”)
– LAWYER GRINCHLEY (prosecutor, dramatic, sarcastic)
– SANTA CLAUS (defendant)
– WISE MAN #1, WISE MAN #2
– SHOPPER SHARON (frantic modern parent)
– OPTIONAL: ELF INTERN, COURT REPORTER, ANGEL WITNESS

HOW
Performed on a simple mock-courtroom set: desks, folder papers, a toy gavel. Actors stand when speaking. Comedy is big, bold, and physical.

PROPS
Santa hat, clipboard, gavel, gift box, fake receipts, scroll for the Wise Men, chair for witness stand.

TIME
 15 minutes
