All car engines need three things to run: air, fuel and ignition. If you are sure there's gas in the tank, and the car hasn't got a clogged air filter (highly unlikely), then the problem almost has to be electrical (no ignition). Does the engine turn over when you turn the key or do you just get a clicking noise (dead battery!). If the engine does turn over, more than likely you've got other problems which you'll probably have to have solved by a mechanic. After making sure the battery's good (do the lights come on when you open the door, and do they dim when you turn the key?), if absolutely nothing happens such as no lights or engine attempting to start, you could have a bad ignition switch. To check the ignition switch take it or have it towed to a mechanic.

If it does not crank at all, try charging the battery or jumping it with another vehicle, if that does not work you may have ignition problems i.e. no spark or your fuel system may be malfunctioning i.e. no fuel. Its hard to tell by what you have provided

Maybe Santa stole your gas, check the wires - it could be just a loose wire to the battery cable or the cable.

Maybe it's the battery or the starter.

first check the battery, if it not the battery it might be starter or ignition coil.
