Trafalgar L "The Mistle-Tones" has the distinction of being the first ABC Family Original movie to be a musical and boy does it deliver. It stars Tia Mowry, Jonathan Patrick Moore and Tori Spelling. Holly (Mowry), a woman blessed with a beautiful singing voice is given a chance to audition for her late mother's Christmas ensemble the Snow Belle's. However, despite being a shoe in she is passed up in favor of the lead singer Marci's (Spelling) best friend. With some encouragement and the help of her boss (Moore) Holly prepares to form her own singing group called the Mistle-Tones. Mowry's charisma and singing are the selling point of this musical. Highly Recommend! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/29/24 Full Review Audience Member It's a fantastic movie full of love and cheer! I enjoy it every year I watch it about 8 times between thanksgiving and Christmas ❤️😎🎁🌲 it's a great film. Tia Mowry is amazing. Reginald Val johnson(Carl from Family matters) is in this and he just makes it awesome! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member A Christmas favorite! A simple movie with a ton of heart that throws back to the nostalgia of classic holiday films. A fun light-hearted musical that takes Christmas Carols to an entire other level, keeping intact the joy and innocence of the season. An incredible addition to family Christmas movies.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member The movie is realistic in that the homes seem to match the characters' incomes, there is a lot of racial diversity (and one of the main characters is Jewish), the love interests are co-workers, the kids are loud and chaotic (not quiet and well-behaved), the hair/makeup and clothes are what people typically wear in real life, and the musical numbers come at natural moments (open mic at a bar, mumbling a holiday song at the water cooler, karaoke at the office holiday party, etc.). The characters don't have crazy holiday outfits just sitting in their closets; Holly has to design them and make them by hand. Well, Marci always dresses like Cruella de Vil, but it suits her. You gain a bit of empathy for Holly because she wants to win the talent show in honor of her deceased mother, and fortunately it's only addressed long enough to be endearing instead of melodramatically dragging it out for the sake of drama. Also, the soundtrack is stellar (it's on iTunes).
