I can't believe I just sat thru 90 minutes of this movie. 90 minutes of my life I will never get back. Why does SyFy bother with Christmas movies like this. Toys of Terror was a Christmas horror for children. And this one, as another reviewer here pointed out, is a spoof for teenagers. Was it supposed to be funny? Clearly comedy is not syfy's strongest genre. Why can't they stick to what they do best? Now, if they produced, for example, 'A Dark Matter Christmas' or 'Christmas with the Killjoys', or maybe even 'A Z Nation Christmas', I am sure they would get it right, plus most of us fans of the network would be keen to watch! It doesn't matter how good the acting is; it doesn't matter if the lead had a 'Bad Santa' or a 'Bad Moms' performance, if the movie is bad, it is not worth watching.
Low budget, stupid fun parody of Hallmark Christmas movies. If you take it as intended, it's actually a pretty good film.
Title of review pretty much says it all. This is a witty, well written and surprisingly well acted (for a SCI-FY channel movie), spoof of those sappy Christmas movies where the cynical big city gal returns to her rural home-town and finds both her Christmas spirit and true love. But now add a bonkers over-the-top Christmas town, Satan Clause, and a half-dozen grisly Christmas-themed murders and you have a recipe for fun.
I live in a famously over-the-top Christmas town so I really identified with the Ho Ho Hoedown and all the other non-stop holiday events in the movie. And the Hallmark spoof was right on--every man the heroine meets is a ruggedly handsome widower with a daughter, and they even find a way to throw in a prince. I also got a kick out of how there was exactly one African-America family and exactly one Jewish family in town--and that people try to 'vandalize' the Jewish family's house by putting Christmas lights on it. Perhaps a little longer than it needed to be, but a fun way to kill an afternoon.

Festive feels and blood and gore, dumb jokes, and hot guys. Im all about this mess. Is it because I'm drunk. Maybe. Would I get drunk again just to watch movie, absolutely. IT"S CHRISTMAS!!!
A silly parody of the Christmas romantic comedy genre with more meet-cutes and story morals than you can count.
It's not as over the top as many of the Syfy films, but it has a lot of laughs and is quite joyful.
It is to Hallmark what Sharknado was to Jaws.
