Santa with Muscles is a 1996 American Christmas comedy film starring Hulk Hogan and directed by John Murlowski.

The movie starts off with Elizabeth (Aria Curzon) writing a letter to Santa, explaining that the citizens of Lakeville have left because of an evil scientist named Ebner Frost (Ed Begley Jr.) who plans to buy the orphanage.

Blake Thorn (Hulk Hogan), a conceited self-made millionaire who sells bodybuilding supplements and equipment that have his picture on them, practices exercises with his staff before joining up with his paintball squad.

An elf named Lenny (Don Stark) assumes him to be another drunk mall Santa and proceeds to rob him from his money, until he realizes that he’s hit the jackpot upon finding Blake’s ID.

Blake assumes the identity of mall Santa for the kids, until he sees two people steal money that has been set aside to help the orphanage.

Blake meets Leslie (Robin Curtis) and the last three children remaining: Taylor (Adam Wylie), Sarah (Mila Kunis) and Elizabeth.

Taylor heads off to deal with Ebner Frost at his mansion, but Blake catches him and has Lenny take him back to the orphanage.

The next morning, Blake fends off another attack from Blight and his henchmen but a decorated Santa Claus pushes him out and falls onto a garbage truck.

[2] Joe Leydon in Variety described Santa with Muscles as a "weakling of a comedy" and thought that Hogan's performance was lacking the charisma of his previous work such as Suburban Commando.

[9] Due to Hogan's starring role, the film has been featured on the website Wrestlecrap, which acts as a "Hall of Shame" for the worst gimmicks and storylines in pro wrestling history.
