Christmas movie about a guy who accidentally chugs Santa’s bone juice while on vacation in Italy and everyone’s mad at him but he develops the power to know what gifts everybody wants.
And then at the end it turns out Santa’s bone juice was in a different cup and he had the magic in him all along

Elon Musk and the Trump administration gleefully shutting down USAID “has already caused the deaths of six hundred thousand people, two-thirds of them children.”
