Wackiest holiday movie: "Like Father, Like Santa"

Think the networks go a little overboard with specials around the holidays? You obviously haven't watched enough Lifetime, which has a back catalog of holiday movies long enough to program a whole new channel. Our pick for the craziest of these movies stars perennial TV stud Harry Hamlin as Santa's son, a money-minded businessman who decides to take over Santa's North Pole workshop. Special bonus for "Star Wars" fans: Rebel pilot Porkins, from "A New Hope," plays Santa himself.
