Don't Open Till Christmas is a thrilling and bizarre murder mystery where nothing is sacred - even Santa Claus! A killer is on the loose in London and his sights are set on one target - Santa Claus - dozens of them. Jolly old Saint Nick is stabbed, beaten and electrocuted in department stores, at parties and even on crowded street corners. What sort of twisted mind is behind these barbarous acts of violence? Scotland Yard is on the trail but every clue points them in a different direction. The culprit is right under their nose, but will they come to this conclusion in time? (official distributor synopsis)
