High Concept Christmas Scripts

The Christmas Grift

Laughing All The Way

A chaotic young grifter is sentenced to community service after her Christmas scam goes wrong, where a good man and a very real Santa help her hold on to the only family she has left and discover the miracle and a little hope, she didn’t know she needed.

Laughing All The Way

Exes face off for the Funniest Person in Manhattan title on Christmas Eve, turning their shared past into dueling punchlines. Old wounds and unexpected warmth surface as they glimpse forgiveness—until one drops out, forcing the other to choose between the spotlight and the person who once made them laugh the hardest.

A Classic Christmas

Laughing All The Way

A Classic Christmas

When a woman inherits her late father’s battered 1963 Cadillac, she heads back to her Texas hometown to restore it in time for the Christmas parade. With the help of a charming local mechanic—and a garage full of memories—she discovers that some things need more than a wrench to repair, like the heart.

The Writers

Written by Luke and Martha Van Garza, the husband-and-wife creative team behind Inner Sanctum Films, this collection of holiday scripts arrives with the perfect balance of craft, heart, humor, and cinematic charm.

Luke’s background as a story analyst for HBO and Phoenix Pictures gives each script its clean structure, emotional payoff, and commercial clarity, while Martha’s award-winning visual instincts and comedic sensibility bring the warmth, magic, and personality that define a modern Christmas classic.

Together, they’ve developed a trio of stories that showcase the full spectrum of what seasonal audiences love most: The scrappy redemption of The Christmas Grift, the nostalgic small-town romance of A Classic Christmas, and the sparkling, laugh-out-loud chemistry of the stand-up comedy romance Laughing All the Way.

Each script delivers its own flavor of holiday joy, yet all share the same signature strengths—heartfelt character arcs, grounded humor, and a touch of Christmas wonder that feels instantly familiar and completely fresh.

With lovable leads, cozy settings, and universal themes of healing, connection, and second chances, these films fit seamlessly into the booming landscape of feel-good holiday movies that dominate streaming queues every winter. They deliver exactly what viewers crave: Christmas spirit, emotional resonance, and the warm reassurance that miracles still happen.
