For instance, a boy who takes Cassie Claus to a college party tries to get her drunk by giving her a red plastic cup filled with vodka without telling her. Later, Cassie is a victim of internet bullying when someone posts memes on social media of her while making fun of her for rumors that her father is Santa Claus; she's called a "freak" while walking across campus to the judging stares of fellow students. Cassie's two male suitors get into a fistfight -- punches, kicks. Champagne drinking at a formal dance party.

What's the Story?
In SANTA GIRL, Cassie Claus (Jennifer Stone) lives in the North Pole, but wants to attend college and experience life away from her strict, no-nonsense father (Barry Bostwick). Reluctantly, Santa tells Cassie that she can attend college for one semester before marrying Jack Frost's son, an arrangement conceived less out of love and more to help Santa's financial bottom line. Accompanied by a quirky elf named Pep sent by Santa to chaperone, Cassie arrives on campus, ready to see what "the real world" has to offer. Soon, she meets a boy named J.R., a popular frat boy who clearly wants to be more than friends. Shortly after that, she meets Sam (Devon Werkheiser), a sensitive math whiz who is low on money but kind and self deprecating. As Cassie tries to navigate the social and academic demands of college life, Jack Frost himself arrives in the interests of keeping Cassie's impending arranged marriage on track. While Cassie tries to keep her North Pole background a secret, she starts to find in increasingly difficult to do so. While J.R. seems like little more than a "bro" to Cassie, and Sam seems to have been behind a nefarious internet plot to destroy her reputation, Cassie must choose between following her heart, or giving up her life, future, and independence in order to keep her father happy and their toy delivery business profitable.
