It's a more restrained, grounded movie than its predecessor - which, ultimately, means it loses some of the candy-coated glee that made A Christmas Prince such a buzzed-about so-bad-it's-good hit. Go to Full Review

This movie is like a sugar cookie: you know exactly what you're getting, and it has all the right ingredients (love, magic, presents), but it would've been even better with a little frosting on top, is all. Go to Full Review

As a woman of color who never felt included in the Christmas movies I'd seen growing up, The Holiday Calendar clicked for me. Go to Full Review

Kat Graham (of The Vampire Diaries) brings almost too many acting chops for a good holiday rom-com, but the film is still cheerily nonsensical. Go to Full Review

Warm holiday romance is cute but predictable. Go to Full Review

Manages to snatch all the fun out of calling every big moment by being so by the book it ignores important elements...like chemistry and a sensible plot. Go to Full Review

Na S 12/19/2024 It’s a decent enough movie. Abby emotionally didn’t connect. Josh was there but disconnected as well. Everyone playing their part but separately. See more JMoney47 12/18/2024 I think this is a very wholesome movie that has a good love triangle involved. It feel lighthearted, while also being emotional at times. Certainly a must watch on my Christmas movie list every year! See more connor p 11/10/2024 Despite all the negative reviews I actually enjoyed this one. See more Amanda E 10/07/2024 This is one of my favorite Christmas movies. Kat Graham makes ANYTHING better, Quincy Brown is as adorable as ever and I think it’s just such a cute feel good movie. I also like that they made the family multiracial. I just love this movie. See more Michael C 03/15/2024 Kat Graham is amazing in everything she plays in great movie!!! See more Emma C 08/11/2023 Love this and watch it every Christmas now. Whoever thought of the calendar coming to life. Clever. Again, nice little love story as there always is in these films, but heartwarming non the less. See more Read all reviews
