A CHRISTMAS CAROL (Dir: David Jones, 1999).
So numerous are the adaptations of Charles Dickens’ evergreen A Christmas Carol that it is difficult for any new retelling to bring anything original to the tale. This Hallmark produced made for TV movie features decent production values, some neat visual effects and a somewhat more sombre tone than expected but doesn’t really stand out from the Christmas Carol crowd.

CHRISTMAS CAROL THE MOVIE (Dir: Jimmy T Murakami, 2001).
A UK production from Jimmy T Murakami, the talented supervising director of The Snowman (Dianne Jackson, 1982) and director of When the Wind Blows (J T Murakami, 1986); an all star cast and a story seemingly ideally suited to feature length animation treatment. What could possibly go wrong? Plenty.

SANTA AND THE ICE CREAM BUNNY (Dir: R Winer & B Mahon, 1972).
If you are looking for alternative Christmas viewing it doesn’t get much more alternative than this, frankly weird, no-budget effort from indie production company R & S Films, Inc.
Santa (Jay Clark) touches down in sunny Florida and gets his sleigh stuck in the sand. Using his powers of telepathy(!), Ol’ Saint Nick summons the help of some local kids including, for reasons unexplained, Mark Twain’s literary Tom and Huck. The kids employe an assortment of animals, gorilla included, to shift the sleigh to no avail, until the appearance of the titular rabbit who, despite co-star billing, doesn’t appear until the final moments of the movie. When he does finally make an entrance he is inexplicably driving a fire truck, not an ice cream van as you might expect.

WAIT HALLMARK MOVIES ARE MADE BY THE CARD COMPANY????
This whole time I thought that there was a director named Hallmark who was famous for making really bad Christmas movies and thus the name Hallmark movies.
Don't give me that. You been smooching everybody! Snuffy, Al, Leo... Little Moe with the gimpy leg, Cheeks, Boney Bob, Cliff...
Currently watching this very cliche (but still decently enjoyable) Christmas movie and it has this horse girl subplot where the older sister is falling in love with horses, but there are these long, lingering shots where she's looking at this female farmhand working with the horses, and she keeps talking about how great and cool that farmhand is, and I can't decide whether it's actually a burgeoning lesbian subplot or just a heavy accidental implication, but it really does feel soooo close to overtly romantic.
Anyways my hot new ship is these two. Time to build it from the ground up ;)
Watching Home Alone is so funny it’s like
Kevin’s mom: *hyperventilating into a paper bag* I can’t believe I left my son home alone, he has to be so terrified, my poor baby boy all alone I need to go get him-
Kevin: *actively planning to commit war crimes*

Putting this as a reminder for next year as well!
Christmas movie bingo!
Playing bingo makes low budget Christmas movies even more fun. You can make free bingo cards here. It will randomly generate a card and you can text a link to friends which will make a unique card each time it’s clicked. You can mark off the squares on your phone.
Below the list I pasted in to make ours. I swear the ROAR from my husband and I when Lindsay Lohan said “I’ve never met anyone like you.”

Baking cookies
Miraculous snowfall in a warm climate

“I’ve never met anyone quite like you”
“You’re actually the first person I’ve told”
“The true meaning of Christmas”
“We’re a family here”
Snowball fight
Snowman

Gingerbread house
Business villain drinks alcohol
“ - Is love really supposed to take so much effort? - Look, I know it in my heart. You and Kevin are meant to be. - And I used to know it too, but maybe all were meant to be is a happy memory. ”

This movie is so good, funny, vibrant, colourful, magical and beautiful. A perfect family movie and a christmas watch. I had great fun watching it
When they first entered the kringle's shop i smiled, my smile reached my eye, i felt like a kid. I felt warm inside, my heart was jumping in excitement, I had that boundless wonder and hope I had as a child. It was so good.
Hell Yeah, Black Santa. This is Dope!
They are so cute. Ugh, i wish it was all real. This movie is so well done. A must watch. I totally recommend it.
I would give 4/5🌟
