If you have children who believe in Christmas magic, steer them away from "'Twas the Night," the Disney Channel's cartoonish, Santa-bashing nod to the holidays. Go to Full Review Laura Fries Variety 11/06/2018
Apparently if you slap on a few colored lights and tack on a schmaltzy feel-good ending, you can call just about anything a Christmas movie. Go to Full Review Tracey Petherick Common Sense Media 11/13/2020

06/13/2021 Disney Channels take on its parent company's movie Santa Clause sadly misses the mark. though comparison between the two should be prevented,the weak narrative, subpar dialogue, and surface level characters makes ver hard to n to wish that you were watching Santa Clause instead. See more 12/16/2019 A Christmas movie that I was able to get all the way through! Not great, but not terrible. The storyline is somewhat enjoyable, and it is always fun to see Bryan Cranston before he became Walter White.

See more 12/26/2014 "Breaking Bad" star Bryan Cranston took a part of Disney Channel's early times in this creative, but somewhat sort-of poorly-written holiday flick that was picking out small presents that contained rehashed elements from a couple of Christmas classics than trying to be more Christmassy heartening and balanced with the creativity.
