A loooottt of writing issues imo but it's still whimsical and cute and the actors are honestly so charming and funny. The plot really doesn't have anything to do with Christmas though, like at all. With a few plot and lyric tweaks this would've been an amazing stage production instead. Costume designer did their thing though fr. Worth a watch even though it's not all that good.

This movie is simply adorable, I wish they would have given more screen time to Jessica and Jeronicus’s relationship healing.
