A Very Charming Christmas Town

Jon Prescott (Not the politician obvs) is adorable as the lead male, but the lead female is vile and obnoxious right from the start and she really doesn't improve enough to deserve anyones affection.

This is a not all that successful attempt at showing Danish Christmas culture as an alternative to the usual American traditions of cookies and lighting the tree that we are all so over now.

I really like the idea of exploring these other ways of life and thought that it was particularly well done in 'Christmas In Rome' (2019), but I'm not sure that this one is well made enough in general or with another thought put in to the explanation of the traditions.

Also the dad was very odd and I kept expecting him to turn out to be the real St Nicholas or something.

It was a very lame ending and so obvious what was going to happen.

If Jon hadn't been so appealing I would have turned it off and left it on my list as an unwatchable film, but him and the few Dutch elements really saved it enough to keep me watching.
