The enthusiasm is apparent from Ayres first frame on screen.
His take on Dan is like if Buddy the Elf had more business sense.
The veteran actor said a note from director Lucie Guest helped guide his character development.
It changed everything for me.
I played everything like Im having the best time even when its not.
So we all got on a ferry and went north.
It was kind of like a field trip for a week.
The heart comes from the storyline for Santa, or Nick.
Trevor Learner did such a beautiful job of playing that Santa…
Were rooting for him so much and to see the magic slowly come back into him.
I cried like 3 times just in his scenes because hes so beautiful to watch.
And so innocent, Ayres said.

The father of three continued, And its Santa and were rooting for him.
I think thats what I love so much about this movie.
Its a real magic season when youre young.
And I think we love these movies so much because they transport us back to our childhood.
And to transport us back to our childhood through Santa is a whole other level.
And thats what really resonated in this movie for me.
The beauty of magic and Santa.
The Santa Classpremiered Saturday, December 14 and will air all season on Hallmark Channel.
