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.

Rated: 2/5

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.

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

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.

Warm holiday romance is cute but predictable.

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.

Rated: 4/10

It’s a decent enough movie. Abby emotionally didn’t connect. Josh was there but disconnected as well. Everyone playing their part but separately.

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!

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.

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.
