Santa Claus at Home on M6: did you know that members of a cult group from the 90s were present in the film? – Cinema News

This Tuesday, December 17, M6 broadcast Santa Claus at Home, a Christmas comedy by Manu Joucla and hosted by Medi Sadoun as well as Louise Monot.

The film follows the adventures of Enzo, an unemployed actor and home deliveryman, forced by his boss to wear the Santa costume to go on a Christmas Eve gift tour.

If he had sworn to his wife, his daughter and his in-laws to be present, Enzo nevertheless promises to be there before midnight to eat the log with them. What Enzo doesn’t know is that he will come across families, each more disturbed than the last, who could well make him break his promise.

Who says Christmas story, necessarily says happy ending. And Santa at home is no exception to this rule. We can also see Enzo go on stage and sing a song in the last minutes of the film.

And the two men who accompany him are none other than Hakim and Mouss, members of the famous 1990s group Zebda. They even composed this song especially for the film.

“The film ends with the Zebdas singing a Christmas carol. Obviously there is a little background and a little point in there“, explained Manu Joucla, the director of Santa Claus at Home, during a press briefing which took place at the La Rochelle Festival last September.

Active from 1985 to 2015, Zebda marked the 1990s with committed albums like The Noise and the Smell. But it was undeniably in 1999 that the group reached the general public with their title “Fall the shirt”, a festive anthem that has now become cult.

Building on this success, Zebda received several awards in 2000. It was notably crowned Best Group at the Victoires de la Musique and Tomber la Chemise won the Victory for Best Song. The group later broke up in 2015.

For those who missed the broadcast of Santa Claus at home, the film is available on the M6+ platform.
