Which Christmas Heist?
The same two words cover a Netflix romance, a Prime Video action comedy that is not out yet, a 2023 bank job, a British TV film, a stage musical, a novel, and a Steam horror game. This page sorts them.
Four names people mix up first
If you saw a trailer with Olivia Holt in a London department store, you want Jingle Bell Heist (Netflix, 26 November 2025). If the trailer has Arnold Schwarzenegger as Santa, you want The Man with the Bag, due on Prime Video on 2 December 2026. If the poster is a small-town bank on Christmas Eve, you want A Christmas Heist (2023). If you want to wishlist a co-op horror game where Santa hunts kids who steal presents, you want Christmas Heist on Steam.
Other works that share the search
The longer list also includes the 2023 Sky film and the unrelated 2026 Lucy Score novel that share the title The Heist Before Christmas, the 2024 Rose Theatre musical Robin Hood and the Christmas Heist, and a 2020 short that only shows up on the cast comparison. A YouTube-style “full movie” upload starring Will Ferrell is not evidence of a released studio film. That correction lives on Is it a real movie?

What I kept separate
Search pages answer “Christmas Heist” with two or three different plots in the same box. I split them because the casts, years and platforms do not overlap. The Steam game has no release date and no price on the store page, so the hero button goes to the wishlist page rather than a playable window. Streaming prices and age ratings that disagree stay side by side on the where to watch and parents guide pages.
