Fred Claus is a 2007 holiday comedy film directed by David Dobkin, which stars Vince Vaughn and Paul Giamatti.

Fred Claus was written by Dan Fogelman and Jessie Nelson, and was produced by David Dobkin, Paul Hitchcock, Jessie Nelson, Joel Silver and Vince Vaughn. The film was released by Warner Bros. on November 9, 2007.

The movie is about Santa Claus's older brother Fred (played by Vince Vaughn, who has always had to live in his saintly sibling's shadow. Fred is an obnoxious, selfish repo man who winds up in jail after impersonating a Salvation Army Santa. The real Santa agrees to bail him out under the condition that he move up to the North Pole and help build toys in the workshop. Fred agrees, but is obviously not cut out to spread good cheer and embody the holiday spirit. He wreaks havoc for his brother, and almost ruins Christmas for everyone.
