I'll Be Home for Christmas - Revival House Perth Event Bio
Settle in for Disney's 1998 teen comedy road trip—a wholesome slice of late '90s nostalgia starring Jonathan Taylor Thomas at peak teen idol status and a young Jessica Biel. This is pure family-friendly fun about learning what really matters during the holidays, even if it takes getting glued into a Santa suit to figure it out.
JTT plays Jake Wilkinson, a self-absorbed college student in California who cares more about partying than family traditions. When his father bribes him with a vintage Porsche to make it home to New York for Christmas, Jake confidently accepts—then gets pranked by a rival, waking up in the desert dressed as Santa Claus with his beard superglued to his face. With his ex-girlfriend Allie (Biel) driving cross-country without him, Jake must hitchhike across America in full Santa regalia, learning life lessons about family, friendship, and humility along the way.
Director Arlene Sanford keeps the tone light and the pacing brisk as Jake encounters various characters during his chaotic journey home. The fish-out-of-water comedy of a spoiled rich kid stuck in a Santa suit carries the film, while Thomas brings boyish charm to a character who slowly realizes material things matter less than the people who love you.
Is it predictable? Absolutely. But that's part of its comfort—this is uncomplicated Disney holiday entertainment that delivers exactly what the title promises. Perfect for families who want something sweet, simple, and seasonally appropriate without any edge.
Pure '90s Disney holiday spirit.
Present in authentic 35mm film for the true cinematic experience!
