Michael Dec 8, 2024 Good production quality for a Netflix film. Saw it a second time recently on the big screen and really does well there. I was susceptible to the sentimentality of it all. Instant classic. See more Luke W @RT40719710 Oct 7, 2026 I enjoy Christmas movies-a lot. I watched this back in 2019 and really enjoyed it, they revisited it last year and absolutely loved it. It has since earned a spot on my Christmas must-watch list. The actors have great performances, the story is grounded in real life, something I don’t see often in Christmas films made for kids, and it is very nostalgia inducing for whatever reason. Sure, it has it’s flaws such as ‘Christmas can’t be without presents’ and Santa being let out of prison because he put up a music performance in prison, but these can be put down to the magical excuse known as plot development. Overall, a great film, 4.5/5 (I certainly can’t say the same about the second though, an unneeded sequel).

A light, effective, and very relaxed festive entertainment. See more Blake- N @PBSAniDom Apr 18, 2026 The Christmas Chronicles is actually a solid and enjoyable holiday film on Netflix that deserves more credit than it gets. It doesn’t try to reinvent Christmas movies or be overly serious—it just focuses on fun, heart, and festive adventure, which makes it easy to watch and get into the holiday spirit. Kurt Russell as Santa is definitely one of the film’s biggest strengths. He brings a cool, energetic, and slightly unconventional take on Santa that makes the character feel fresh without losing the classic charm. The chemistry between the siblings also helps ground the story and gives it a bit more emotional weight than expected. While the plot is fairly simple and some moments lean into typical holiday movie clichés, the film still delivers strong entertainment value and genuine Christmas spirit. It’s a fun, feel-good watch that works especially well for families. Overall, i'd gave it a 8/10. See more Austin B @Austin35 Jan 7, 2026 Probably the best new Christmas movie in years. Kurt Russell best Santa ever. See more Michael B. @KVD1969 Jan 3, 2026 After accidentally crashing Santa Claus's sleigh, a sister and brother must pull an all-nighter to save Christmas with a savvy, straight-talking St. Nick. If they don’t help Santa find his reindeer, hat, and bag of presents before Christmas morning, the "Christmas Spirit" will disappear, leading to global chaos. See more Read all reviews
