As he makes his escape, Andy stumbles across a drunken, passed out Rent-A-Santa and steals his costume. Shortly thereafter, he encounters nine-year-old Annie playing outside, who excitedly invites “Santa” to come stay at her house, where she hides him in her playroom with all of her dolls.As Andy now comes to grips with what he’s become, even as the flashbacks to his previous life continue, he struggles with his craving for human flesh.

As Christmas approaches, Andy’s torn between his uncontrollable hunger and his desire to give Annie the parental love she’s missing. But when Andy encounters other zombies living in hiding who instantly recognize him as the celebrity he recently was, things get even more complicated….
