Jingle Bell Heist

Fifteen to twenty minutes in I was ready to give up but it got better. As somewhat cheesy holiday movies go, this had enough unique aspects to be interesting.

Not sure if this is a romcom or an Xmas flick, but, you know what? I don't care. This film is a little heartwarmer, with a couple of snot- laugh moments included (I still haven't found where some of that landed!)

Will it win awards? No, but does that matter really?

Solid performances from Conner Swindells and Olivia Holt, with a nice onscreen chemistry going on between them.

And, come on! Lucy Punch AND Peter Serafinowicz in the same film? How can that be a bad thing?

Nice to see James Dryden too!

Sweet film. Nuff said?

Finally a warm and fuzzy Xmas movie. The acting is perfect and the story unique and cute and made for christmas. Watched it with my girls and we all enjoyed it .

Jingle Bell Heist (2025) is a Christmas romantic comedy movie streaming on Netflix and it follows two strangers teaming up to rob one of London's most famous department stores while accidentally falling in love. While this movie is like the other romantic comedy movies, this is one of the better and more fun movies to come from Netflix.

Positives for Jingle Bell Heist (2025): The initial setup of this movie is good enough to have your usual Netflix romantic comedy movie set during the holiday season. The two leads in Olivia Holt as Sophie and Connor Swindells as Nick are fun and have great chemistry with each other. The movie is paced very well and I was able to keep up with the story. There is some good enough comedy and action sprinkled throughout the movie. And finally, I really enjoyed the heist at the department store especially during the final act of the movie.

Negatives for Jingle Bell Heist (2025): This is still a Netflix romantic comedy movie that is very predictable with the story. The villains are not that much of a threat to our main characters.

Overall, Jingle Bell Heist (2025) is another Netflix romantic comedy movie that you've many times before, but it is definitely one of the better movies and I would rewatch it during the holiday season.

I was expecting Hallmark level fluff but this movie actually had a decent plot and interesting characters. It won't knock your stockings off, but it's a nice way to pass an evening leading up to Christmas.

The story reveals itself gradually with a few plot twists that, in retrospect, were satisfyingly predictable, leaving you to feel that everything was tidily wrapped up with a big bow.
