Megan Garber The Atlantic Charming and wacky and, at moments, very funny. But it is also just a little bit radical. Dec 18, 2021 Full Review Alaina Leary Bitch Media The Christmas House goes out of its way not to other Brandon and Jake and instead focuses on who they are as characters... Where The Christmas House falls slightly short is in making Mike and his relationship with Andi the A story. Dec 10, 2020 Full Review Esme Mazzeo Tell-Tale TV The Christmas House proves that small details go a long way in telling a Christmas romance story, and hopefully, this is just the first step of many where representation is concerned. Rated: 4.25/5 Nov 23, 2020 Full Review Brett White Decider The movie is a delight through and through, and-as if that's not enough-it's one that will actually change the world for the better.

Marie L Turned it off within 5 minutes. No thank you. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/14/24 Full Review PridePosterStudios Not sure about tolerating TWO heterosexual couples around the dinner table, but I suppose it is Christmas… Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/25/24 Full Review John B I thought it was good Christmas movie overall with some different storylines happening at the same time, not all of them good, but still interesting. It was also nice to see how some of these people that build a Christmas House like the Griswolds have to plan out months in advance. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review r 9 Almost passable, but not quite. 'The Christmas House' is cheesy and the actual plot is lame, I do appreciate the additional bit of depth to the story though - admittedly that's relatively-speaking as it's still a Hallmark movie, but there's slightly more to it than is usual for a festive flick of this sort. There is some same-sex couple representation, which is definitely something you don't usually get with these films, so minor (belated, after all) props for that. As for the cast, they bring what's required. I watched Treat Williams in 'Rocky Mountain Christmas' last year and found him to be the standout, he's solid again - helped by a better cast around him here. Robert Buckley and Ana Ayora are decent, as are Sharon Lawrence and Jonathan Bennett. I'm always intrigued when these television films get a sequel, so I'm up for checking out 'The Christmas House 2: Deck Those Halls' - even if I'm not expecting much from it, naturally. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I subscribe to the Hallmark channel so I have no problem with a lot of cheese in movies, especially Christmas movies, but this was so bad I wanted to turn it off ten different times. The mother blowing her whistle like a drill seargant was the dumbest part -- whoever thought that would be funny must be deaf. The only actor with a good role was the kid next door, although the brother had a couple of good lines. And they made a part 2? I can't believe it. At least it can't be worse.
