I have a new favorite Christmas film!

[WhoopiGoldbergsCat]

The Christmas Chronicles on Netflix.

Bloody brilliant it is, just what I needed after a crappy day, really got me into the Christmas spirit.

And a sexy Santa Claus in the form of Kurt Russell!
(I have never fancied a father Christmas before!)

If you haven't seen it, it's a must.

@thornyhousewife no,no big reveal. If anything they might think even more Santa is real. We watched with my dd (7) at least 4 times and I think it’s a lovely Christmas story. Santa is sexy and love Santa’s wife. Also the Dad in the storyline. Tonight we watched The Polar Express. Firm favourite with Elf as well x

I think it has replaced Elf as my favourite ever Xmas film

I watched with my 14 year old and 11 year old DS's and we all loved it!🎅

It’s given me inappropriate thought about Santa though. 😬

Haha 0v0. Me too!

We loved it.

Also fancied kurt Russell. But I fancy Billy bob Thornton as bad santa so clearly I have dreadful taste

Yep definitely been having fantasies of Santa ( Kurt Russell) oming down my chimney!
It's the dirty grey beard I think!

We’ve just watched it and thought it was brilliant!

Can anyone tell me when Elf is on please ? Thanks.

Opened this thread hoping it was this. Also loved it. Not sure it’s my absolute favourite. But definitely one to add in to my Christmas film rotation.

Elf is on ITV a week today. Don’t know the time though.

Im enjoying the christmas calendar right now

I watched it with 11 year old, great film, I might have sobbed a bit.

Oh I've seen that advertised but I've not watched it yet.

I shall have to watch it tonight.

My six year old watched this at his Dad's the other day. Came home saying it was the best film he'd ever seen and its his new favourite. He's been pestering me for days to watch it with him, I may have to now despite hating cheesy Christmas films.

We loved it, the kids really loved it and that’s all that matters. I think the people who were so horrible with the reviews should let a little Christmas magic in their lives!

We all enjoyed it too. I've never really got the love for Elf, I thought it was a bit meh tbh.

I loved it too!

We watched it this afternoon, and really enjoyed it. It is a bit twee and predictable in parts, but well acted and believable.

Worth watching and nice to have a new Christmas movie to watch.

I love Christmas films the cheesy one's in particular.
Didn't like this one

We sat down as a family to watch it after I’d seen Kurt Russel on Graham Norton and it’s definitely going in the collection of films that we watch at Christmas time.

It’s not the best film ever but it was a perfect example of s a cheesfest Christmas film.

Loved it and it was the first non cartoony film that my DS(6) really enjoyed and the first film he has asked to watch again.

I must have watched a different film to most of you, I thought it was crap, the kids are so annoying. DCs (11 and 7) liked it but they didn't gush, 16 year old chose not to watch it.

Our favourite is Elf by a long mile, and 7 year old loves Home Alone - but then he would love to replicate all the traps to catch the burglars!

Never heard of it. But will go look now1

That 1 should be a !

I really didn’t like it. Thought the bad behaviour of the brother was unnecessarily serious - car theft?? Actual criminal behaviour rather than just teenage rebellion. Santa was a bit grim with trying to make him edgy, who wants a sexy Santa? Cringe. I’d rather he was a safe and cosy character for kids and I didn’t like all his fat shaming comments aimed at usual portrayals of Santa. I also didn’t like how it’s clearly trying to replace the Santa letters with YouTube style videos. The internet will be filled with these next year. As for the crappy cgi elves...
