Jingle Bell Heist From Wed 26 November, Netflix

Facing mounting hospital bills for her mother’s cancer treatment and desperate for a quick payday, shop worker Sophia (Olivia Holt) decides to steal from her own workplace, Sterling’s, run by nasty, posh owner Maxwell Sterling (The Gentlemen’s Peter Serafinowicz), who is married to money-hungry wife Cynthia (Amandaland’s Lucy Punch).

Despite being a very light-fingered thief, Sophia is inadvertently caught on camera by ex-security consultant turned phone repairman Nick (Sex Education’s Connor Swindells), who also needs funds to help create a stable home for his daughter following his recent divorce.
