Then just irritating.
After a while I just fast forwarded it.
Lacks any of the the Dickensian charm and lessons that are so wonderful in most of the Christmas Scrooge movies.
Not a good groundhog movie either.
Off putting with Kelsey Grammars feet too.
Supporting actors not great so must have been low budget.
How lunch more of a review do I need to write to submit this. Ridiculous that I have to have so many characters that I am just filling the space to get this submitted.
Halve the number please !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After the opening sequences that establish the characters and the situations they face, and after the essential nature of the movie has been revealed, the plot really finds its footing and gets rolling. It begins pulling together different plot elements from earlier in the movie into a well-orchestrated, meaningful, engaging, and highly satisfying closing sequence of scenes. The acting was simultaneously both quirky *and* good.
There is a lot of subtle humor, and you'll want to pay close attention to pick up some of it. I missed a number of little throwaways the first time through. On the second time through I laughed when I realized how well they set up, in advance, some little bit of humor that I had not quite "gotten" on my first viewing. Without giving away anything about the actual plot, when you watch the movie, be sure to take a close look at the candle at the end of the opening scene, and also take note of the news story about the escaped reindeer not long thereafter.
There were also some good, solid comedic lines and events that were anything but subtle! My second viewing was even more entertaining than my first viewing had been, which is a rare thing for a movie to be able to pull off. Someone who had not previously seen the movie was watching it with me -- they had quite a number of break-out-laughing moments.
But this movie is more than just its humor. It also contains a number of deeper insights, and it presents some life lessons that we could all take to heart.
Overall, this is a well-crafted movie. As of Dec 4th, 2022, as I write this, "The 12 Days of Christmas Eve" is my favorite 2022 Christmas movie to date.

Writer Eirene Donohue managed to put together not only a very wholesome storyline here, but also a script that proved very entertaining and enjoyable. And the writer really made this feel like a proper Christmas movie, so thumbs up on that accomplishment. Eirene Donohue really gave director Dustin Rikert something grand to work with here.
The acting performances in "The 12 Days of Christmas Eve" were good, and just as I had assumed then Kelsey Grammer really made this an enjoyable movie with his performance. He is a great actor and really shines in a movie such as this. But I will say that they had a good cast ensemble in general, and the actors and actresses put on good performances on the screen.
If you enjoy Christmas movies then you definitely have to watch "The 12 Days of Christmas Eve". This does without a doubt have the potential to become a Christmas classic. I genuinely enjoyed watching this movie and was quite entertained. It is a wholesome Christmas movie that doesn't fall into that usual sappy romantic formula, you know where a man and a woman fall in love against all odds, that many Christmas movies unfortunately have a tendency of doing. This is a movie that really brings to the screen the purpose of Christmas and the holiday spirits.
My rating of "The 12 Days of Christmas Eve" lands on a well-deserved seven out of ten stars.
The film was directed by Dustin Rikert, and written by Eirene Donohue.
THINGS I LIKED: I adore Kelsey Grammer. He tends to play the same character in every movie, but it suits his personality. We even get to hear him sing a little bit. He sang the opening song in his popular TV show Frasier. I loved that show.
Spencer Grammar plays Kelsey Grammer's daughter in the movie, and she really IS his daughter in real life!
I love movies that loop, giving the protagonist time to redo his/her choices to become a better person. One of the characters actually talks about that kind of movie and explains that the time loop stops "when they stop being selfish and start helping other people." Kelsey Grammar played a Starship captain in an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation where his character had been stuck in a time loop for over 90 years.
There are plenty of positive messages about life and the true meaning of Christmas.
THINGS I DIDN'T LIKE: It's super cheesy and predictable.
There are quite a few bad green-screen moments.
The scenarios are ridiculous.
A surgeon who can't figure out how to get a babysitter?
Spencer Grammer's character is cranky, impossible to please, and demanding during most of the movie.
Some bad editing and transition moments.
Some bad acting moments.
TIPS FOR PARENTS: Lots of alcohol Talk of death Adults will probably get more out of the lessons in the movie than their kids.

- WissenswertesEarly in the film, Kelsey Grammer asks another character if he's ever seen one of those science-fiction time-loop movies, and if so, how to get out of a time loop. In 1992, Grammer had a cameo in a "Star Trek: The Next Generation" episode in which he plays a Starship captain caught in a time loop for over 90 years.
