Defintiey worth a quick watch! Very much surprised at how much I enjoyed this film. The storylines, characters, and acting are solid and the jokes are original and UPROARIOS!!! The entire movie is over Zoom, but you can tell the cast and crew had A LOT OF FUN making this! The movie derides it's own platform and this time our lives and the results are heartwarming and hilarious!
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!
When it comes to Computer Screen Films, the one genre that rules them all and that's Horror. So I was surprised to see there's also a Chrismtas comedy out there that makes you actially LOL. Christmas Staycation is short, sweet, and gets you out of the pandemic funk if you're still in it. I really loved the 3 siblings and the original storylines they had to deal with. The Zoom Santa "My Dad is dead" scene made me lose my s***! Amd there's plenty more of funny scenes afterward. The one drawback is the visual quality isn't top notch, but again, it's a computer screen film, so just enjoy the ride! And there's a lot to enjoy!
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.
