Synopsis

Retired police officer Mike Halligan wants to give his grandson, who has never seen snow, the experience of a real white Christmas in New York City.

In a desperate attempt to fulfill his wish, Halligan strikes a deal with the Archangel of Heaven to return to Earth for one week until Christmas, so he can share the seasonal magic of New York with his grandson.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 17

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
