About this episode

The Daily Show presents a trailer for a heartwarming Christmas movie about an unlikely love connection between two people at a school board meeting. And sparks fly this holiday season when a mandatory ballot recount brings together the unlikely duo of a poll worker and a self-appointed election monitor. Plus, Santa's been borrowing money for toys for 70 years and now it's time to pay up. With kids asking for more expensive gifts, Santa (Kal Penn) and his elf (Ronny Chieng) need to find a way to pay back the bank in time to save Christmas. And, Ronny Chieng explores climate change’s impact on the holidays.
