Northpole

I swear that Bailee Madison could light up Northpole with her own smile and happiness! This girl is a pure delight in just about everything she does. I enjoy the "Good Witch" series with her as well. She's the main reason to watch this film, despite excellent performances all around.

Bailee is Clementine, an elf who is concerned about the diminishing happiness around the world that is having a profound affect on the city, Northpole. She decides to do something about it.

Clementine finds a spark of hope in Kevin Hastings, a young boy who also believes that happiness and the Christmas Spirit is still alive despite evidence to the contrary.

Kevin, in a "Pay if Forward"-type scenario, decides to do something about it after his teacher assigns the class a holiday project.

Clementine ends up teaming up with Kevin to reignite the spark of happiness that is missing.

Besides a good cast and a decent story, the other reason this movie works so well is because it's not the typical "Hallmark Christmas Movie Template" that most of their films have. It stands on its own with its uniqueness.

So, if you're look for the non-typical Christmas film that will dazzle, delight, and even touch your heart, this is a good one to go with.

An oldish story told again, with a couple of little twists, but generally a very nice little film which is more about the Christmas spirit than loads of CAD trickery. Certainly worth a watch.

The movie is light hearted enough for children to enjoy, whilst still having enough context to make it entertaining for adults to watch. You can also buy Christmas items featured in the movie online which the children (ok and me lol) love! Perfect Christmas family movie 🎄🎅🏻

This Hallmark movie delves into fantasy more than most, and it comes off really well. A nicely entertaining movie with a good story and good actors.

In this story Santa and the North Pole community and toy factory are real. However things are going downhill a bit. In a theme that might have been borrowed from the movie "Elf" more joy is needed to power the Northern lights and revive the Christmas spirit.

Meanwhile in a small town a teacher and her young son want to help the town revive its own Christmas traditions, the tree lighting ceremony. She is a reporter, she suspects there is something amiss in the dealings between a wealthy man and the town's mayor.

One of Santa's elves "borrows" one of the reindeer and a small sled to travel to the town and ultimately help the boy and the town revive its own Christmas traditions.

A really nice Holiday movie, my wife and I enjoyed it at home streaming on Peacock.

As a Christmas movie aficionado, I thought this one was fabulous. I loved the storyline, the drama and the actors. Some of the reviews are kind of harsh, but Hallmark is a FAMILY company - I wouldn't expect their movies to run so deep, include splatters... there are some really badly acted Christmas movies - great story lines, but nothing I would want to watch again or purchase. I would purchase this one. Northpole 2 was not as good as the first but I'm hoping for a 3rd.
