Franklin, Kentucky will welcome a heart-touching holiday movie as “Bachelor Santa” screens at the Goodnight Auditorium, 203 South Main Street, on Saturday, December 6, 2025 at 1pm. The family-friendly film blends small-town warmth with North Pole magic in a story about love, second chances, and Christmas belief.
The film follows Shelby Stewart, a widowed baker struggling to keep her small business and home afloat while raising her spirited 11-year-old daughter, Taylor. When Shelby is selected for the National Christmas Cookie Bake Off, Taylor secretly writes to Santa asking for something her mother desperately needs but would never request herself: someone to love again.
At the North Pole, the letter lands in the hands of Nick, Santa’s charming and unexpectedly youthful successor-in-training. Determined to grant Taylor’s Christmas wish, Nick travels to meet Shelby – blending into the human world, learning holiday traditions, and slowly forming a heartfelt bond with the mother-daughter duo. What follows is a magical adventure filled with cookie competitions, Christmas mishaps, and a delightful mystery as Taylor begins to suspect that Nick might actually be Santa Claus.
This special screening also celebrates the mission of the West Kentucky Film Commission, which continues to champion regional filmmaking, expand economic development, and strengthen Kentucky’s presence in the entertainment industry.
Join us for a joyful afternoon and experience the Christmas spirit of “Bachelor Santa” in Franklin.
Tickets for the movie premiere for “Bachelor Santa” will be available online at Eventbrite and can be purchased at the door at the Goodnight Auditorium on December 6. For more information, contact Simpson County Tourism Commission at 270-586-3040.
