Jingle All the Way (1996) is a comedy film directed by Brian Levant and starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sinbad. The name is taken from a line in the Christmas song "Jingle Bells".

Tagline: Two Dads, One Toy, No Prisoners.

Howard Langston (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is often busy at his job, and has a hard time finding time for his wife, Liz (Rita Wilson) and his young son, Jamie (Jake Lloyd)- especially when compared to next door superdad divorcee, Ted Maltin (Phil Hartman). After breaking his word again by missing Jamie's karate match, Howard resolves to redeem himself and his marriage by fulfilling Jamie's ultimate Christmas wish, a Turbo-Man action figure.

Unbeknownst to Howard, Turbo-Man toys are the must have gifts of the season, and stocks of Turbo-Man toys are quickly drying up all over the country. Desperate not to disappoint his family again, Howard embarks on an epic city-wide quest to find the toy everyone's looking for. Along the way, Howard encounters Myron Larabee (Sinbad), a postal worker dad with a rival ambition.

The search climaxes with both dads masquerading as live action stuntmen in a department store parade. Posed as the "real" Turbo-Man, Howard uses the oppurtunity to present a coveted Turbo-Man doll to his son in the crowd. But before he can recognize his dad, Jaime is chased around the parade by the costumed Myron and ultimately saved by Turbo-Man, who reveals himself as his father.

Touched by Myron's undying dedication to his own son, Jamie relinquishes the doll to him and confesses that his dad is the only superhero he needs. In the final scene, Howard happily opens presents with Jamie...until he realizes that he forgot to get Liz a gift!

The movie was filmed and is set in the Twin Cities metropolitan area of Minnesota.

Comedian Jay Leno has been known to joke about this movie several times on his show, "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno". When California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's four ballot measures were rejected by California voters in November 2005, Leno remarked that "...This has to be the worst day Arnold's had since that movie 'Jingle All the Way' came out".
On Late Night with Conan O'Brien, nearly each time Conan has a fake interview with "Arnold" (a cardboard cutout with Arnold's voice impersonated), the Arnold character will yell (apropos of nothing) for the audience to see/buy/watch Jingle all the Way! O'Brien has said that the reason behind this continuing parody was Arnold's feverence in promoting the movie when it was first released; Arnold was so enthusiastic about the cookie-cutter holiday picture that O'Brien and his writers found it hilarious.
A quick clip of the film can be seen in the film Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan. As Borat changes the channel on his hotel television, he switches from COPS, to Married... with Children, then Jingle All the Way, and finally Baywatch. In the film, Borat appears to be disgusted with Jingle All the Way as he watches the scene where Jamie hugs Howard.

Despite being lambasted by critics, Jingle All the Way recouped it's $60 million budget and went on to gross $130 million worldwide.
