Arnold Schwarzenegger plays Santa Claus in The Man with the Bag, an action comedy that has a new trailer from Prime Video. This time, the problem isn't finding a last-minute gift: someone has stolen Santa's magic bag, and he needs to get it back.

The trailer finds Vance, played by Reacher star Alan Ritchson, at a diner with his daughter, Emma. There, a man who introduces himself as Kris offers Vance a job. He says his bag of presents has been stolen, then takes the father and daughter on a ride in a flying sleigh.

Kris has an unusual reason for choosing Vance: he's on Santa's naughty list, and Santa needs someone who can steal the bag back. The thief is an elf played by Awkwafina.

The role is a Christmas reversal for Schwarzenegger. In Jingle All the Way, he played a father who spent Christmas Eve searching for a Turbo Man doll for his son. Thirty years later, he's playing Santa Claus and facing the disappearance of every present.

The Man with the Bag premieres December 2, 2026, on Prime Video.
