Christmas Spirit

About This Movie

Christmas Spirit, directed by David DeCoteau, carries this kind of warm yet bittersweet tone that captures the holiday spirit with a twist. The pacing feels right for a TV movie, allowing those quiet moments to resonate alongside the more magical elements. The performances are genuine; the young lead really embodies that cynical edge, making the eventual transformation feel earned rather than forced. It's interesting how the practical effects, albeit simple, add a certain charm that CGI just can't replicate. Themes of hope and redemption weave through the narrative, creating a familiar yet unique exploration of the holiday season. Definitely one of those films that you might not watch every year, but when you do, it brings a certain cozy nostalgia.
