I'm not sure what I was expecting, but I was delighted by just how much Barry Watson leaned into the ridiculous. In fact I spent most of the movie focusing on his antics. There really isn't anything else surprising here, it's pretty much by the numbers of a standard Hallmark, Lifetime or Netflix holiday flick. But really nobody watches these type of films looking for new ground. However, it was fun watching the writers rework the Nutcracker.
