Ben Affleck must've really liked wearing that Santa suit in Reindeer Games because he just agreed to appear in a Christmas movie. Surviving Christmas is on the fast track over at Columbia with the hopes of having it ready for next year's holiday season.

In the movie, Affleck will play a man suffering a nervous breakdown because he might have to spend the holidays by himself. He comes up with an easy solution to his dilemma, to return to his childhood home. The only problem is that his family moved out years ago. He convinces the new family living there to take him in and they try to make it through Christmas together.
