The next time I get the question "What's your favorite Christmas movie?" - I will no longer give a long list of the typical classics, or feel uncertain of my answer. My answer will simply be.... Nochebuena!
Nochebuena combined the richness and authenticity of our Latin culture, during the holidays with romance and whole lot of laughter!
Nochebuena so very properly and accurately showcased Latinx culture. There were so many moments where I completed related and just wanted to jump into the movie!!!
Oh, the countless a-ha moments..... :) you've really gotta watch it!
This film is so important because it's going to help audiences understand how there is more than the generic classifications and generalizations about Latinx culture. Our culture, especially during the holiday, is full of love, music, food, diverse family members, traditions and of course.... Coquito!!
The filmmakers have done an excellent job at sharing their perspectives with audiences! The actors all had incredible onscreen chemistry!
BRAVO TO ALL and may this reach the heart and souls of all the world!

Nochebuena is exactly what the world needs right now! A traditional Christmas love story, the one that makes you feel all of the feels! From the storyline, the decor, the hometown feel, amazing chemistry between the actors and actresses, the music and food, and all of the Latin Christmas traditions (can't forget to mention the coquito!)... this movie definitely hit it out of the park.
If you're wanting to feel like you're reminiscing in your childhood or trying to connect with the Latin culture, this is definitely the movie you'll want to watch!
Amazing job to everyone involved in bringing this story/vision to life!

Absolutely loved this holiday movie!! Had it all! Comedy, love, and tear jerking moments. Who doesn't love a great holiday romcom, where serendipitous love play with our emotions of wishing for a happy ending for Christmas. One of my favorite parts of the movie was the traditional "Nochebuena" aka Christmas Eve. The food, music, and the infamous coquito, it's like I can smell the pernil "roast pork" at its last minute in the oven or getting all dolled up just to be in someone's living room. Such a great representation of amazing Hispanic traditions and memories. Made me feel all warm and fuzzy for this holiday season.
This film was captured the very essence of what a Latino Christmas Eve can be like. A night of drama, love, jokes, music, memories, and more drama. The Christmas angle was an incredible touch to the film. It captured a very refreshing love story that's family friendly. Acting and production are done so well you forget it's an indie. It was easy to see that writers and producers has first hand insight into what the Spanish culture does on Christmas Eve. This is a great film that can be enjoyed by the family every year. The comedic performance in this film was particularly worthy of praise. Overall just a great watch.
Great work on this project.
Great work on this project.
The Director did a job well done on this one! Light, love, laughter and simple joy is what you can get from this movie! I often walk away disappointed as I just feel like movies aren't made like they use to, but not with this film. Go grab some popcorn and a loved one and enjoy this very well put together film that will make your heart smile! Do you ever feel like you wish you could get a second chance with the one who got away? Watch this film to see what happens. I also love this hispanic culture behind it! See it, watch it, love it! I hope this movie gets the attention it deserves, it truly is a good one!
