Chris Cringle spreads the joyous spirit on Mars
This movie reflects on the "cold war" days when Soviet Union was regarded as oppressed, and cold to human feelings. So the plot of the movie is how can you bring joy and cheer to a dull country? The story softly refers to Mars rather than the traditional communist enemy. In this joyless planet, The Martians decide to bring cheer to their planet by nabbing Kris Cringle (John Call) and two little children from North Pole when they were busy making toys for the upcoming festive season on Earth. The Martian leader forces Santa Claus and the two kids to make toys for the children of Mars who are depressed and extremely unhappy. The Martians first family includes the father named KiMar (Leonard Hicks), his wife MoMar (Leila Martin), son BoMar (Chris Month) and daughter GirMar (Pia Zadora) with the parental figures wanting the best for their children. Voldar (Vincent Beck), the bad guy with drooping mustache is angry over the whole Santa Claus affair and vows to kidnap him to preserve the proud heritage of the Planet of War. Poor guy, his henchmen (Jamie Farr and Jimmy Durante) are of little help to carry out his wishes. Eventually, the Martian children attack Voldar with a barrage of toys, because the spirit of Christmas and peace has already descended upon the planet: The good prevails over the evil.

Hang up that mistletoe
Soon you'll hear Ho! Ho! Ho!
It is the Christmas season on earth. The Martian children are in a funk and will not eat their chocolate cake pills. Kimar (Leonard Hicks) a concerned father and a leader of the council calls up on the old man of the cave. His diagnosis is that Mars Needs a Santa; so in the interest of the children of Mars Kimar sets out to pilfer Santa (John Call.) Opposed to this attempted attitude change on a planetary scale is the curmudgeon Voldar (Vincent Beck). You cannot miss Voldar because he looks like a green Groucho Marks. To add to the pathos a couple of pint size hostages are also taken, Billy (Victor Stiles) and Betty (Donna Conforti).
Is this the end of Christmas, as we know it?
What is Voldar's evil plan?
Are Billy & Betty doomed to drift around in space, or be captives of Mars forever?
On the other hand, is it just possible that Santa Claus Conquers the Martians?
A Must Have!
I remember walking to the theater (all of two blocks) and paying a whopping 50 cents to see this movie, and I have never forgotten it to this very day. I would tell my kids about it but rarely was it on television while they were growing up. I actually found a DVD in THE DOLLAR STORE of all places and showed it to my kids which of course they thought was ridiculous. However, they are grown know and one of my sons told me he was watching it on TV and showed it to his wife. I am purchasing three copies so that they can all add it to their DVD collection and pass on to their children. Cult classic and poor FX at it's best!!
