Christmas Staycation

If you're looking for a Christmas movie that really stands out, Christmas Staycation is it! This isn't like all those Hallymarky Snoooozefests and the production isn't at all like a Hollywood Blockbuster, but Christmas Staycation has more heart and laughs than any recent Christmas movie. Yeah, it's all on Zoom and the pandemic is a big part of it, but the story is heatfelt, the family has real problems, and the jokes are non-stop! The actors did a phemonal job with this and the writing is top-notch. If you need to a pick me up this holiday season, this is a total recommend!

This Chrismtas Staycation film is a comedic computer screen film made on Zoom in December 2020! It takes place during the pandemic and has a great story. There's ANOTHER Christmas Staycation that came out this year that is NOT THIS! That is another movie that came out in 2015 and took this title for 2021. If you're looking for the original Christmas Staycation, this one is it! And it's worth the watch!!! Super original and filled with hard laughs and heart!

For a film all shot on Zoom, this was wonderful! Instead of ignoring the pandemic like most holiday movies this season, Christmas Staycation embraces this very strange year and makes it hilarious! From the Zoom-A-Santa scenes to the epic "Gloomgarty Christmas Party" with "28 virtual rooms," this is a laugh riot with a lot of heart and some very sweet moments. The acting is very well done and the jokes are almost non-stop once the story gets going. My favorite scenes were Charlotte's zoom job interviews, every scene with Fiona, and of course, Cousin Skeexo stole the show! I don't know if Boston Market sponsored this, but they certainly should with all those Boston Market jokes. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I loved this! Hands down, this is the Christmas film of 2020! It's incredibly relatable, hysterical, and endearing.

Don't confuse this with the movie on Amazon Prime. This movie actually has a story! Christmas Staycation (2021) on Amazon Prime is actually A Dog For Christmas (2015), they just took the same movie and gave it a new title this year. This Christmas Staycation is a zoom moive from 2020 with actually heart and story! You can buy this Christmas Staycation on DVD at Barnes and Nobles and stream on Vimeo and Hoopla. 2 completey different movies!

Christmas Staycation is surprisingly glorious! There's a touching family story with so much humor for modern times. It's empathetic to everyone who's been using Zoom for this entire pandemic and feels like The Office in many ways. Seeing if you worked in an office, you get The Office. Every character brings something quirky, distinct, and charming. The writing, acting, and pace is so well done that you'll forget you're watching a computer screen film. Give it a shot and you will find yourself laughing incessantly.
