No you don't get a chance next year, he's not coming, he's not real.
God doesn't threaten you, nor does He torture you, you are born to the destination of hell, just as everyone else is. God does offer a way to change that destination, the offer is to all, and those who accept it will have their destination changed.

Really being nice is a criterion, can you prove that, I've known bad kids who got plenty at Christmas. Of coarse he doesn't care, there's no Santa to care.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
