Here’s what happens in it
When their mam is forced to work on Christmas Eve, brother andsister duo Kate and Teddy Pierce hatch a scheme to capture Santa Claus. When the plan goes awry and they accidentally derail his sleigh, the kids join forces with Saint Nick and his elves to save Christmas before it’s too late.
You’re thinking, “So far, so ‘bog standard Christmas movie’. However, this is far from your ordinary festive flick. Some critics are saying that The Christmas Chronicles reinvents the Christmas movie genre, and will satisfy the most cynical of grinches.
