This is more like a documentary type of movie. Educational to teach the history and the symbolism of the origins of Christmas. Very informative movie. A little cheesy at times but very worth it to learn what Christmas is truly all about

The narrative flow of the movie works like this: Christian says something he believes in and Kirk gently chides him and then explains what an idiot he is. For example, Christmas trees are not Biblical in original, right? Wrong. God made trees. And we should see a cross every time we see a Christmas tree. You can see the logic. But it's a leap. If you can make these leaps, then you can watch this film and get something from it. You just have to let Kirk take you on a ride.It's only when we read too much into things - if that's Kirk's real sister, why isn't the brother-in-law played by the real brother? Where's Candace Cameron, his somewhat of a bigger star sister, and her husband, hockey player Valeri Bure? Why was there no hot chocolate in Kirk's mug in the overly earnest open? Does anyone who made this movie not realize that the DeAndre character is racist in its depiction of black people? Is anyone mad that they co-opted dubstep? Why wasn't POD in this movie?That said, I'm not going to make fun of Kirk for being a child star or his earnestly vacant stare. Obviously, this was not a movie made for me. I also don't think it was made for Christians. I think it was made for Kirk, his family and close multiethnic friends. Things just got out of hand and it ended up being released in theaters and they had to go along with it.

This film is completely off-the-wall crazy. It is one of those rare films that has the power to descend to the depths of insanity, dragging its helpless audience along with it, until WHAM! The phrase "Aspergers in your burgers" is uttered by a man holding a cup of coffee in front of his mouth. The madness is universally expressed by all characters present, leading to an unsettling conclusion: this is not about Jesus at all, but a tale of a party in which the hot chocolate somehow becomes contaminated with marijuana. Suddenly the strange giggling in the car, the hallucinogenic Santa segment and the random conspiracy theory scene with two minor characters makes sense when viewed this way. It makes more sense than the idea someone thought this movie was a good idea, anyway!

Kirk Cameron claims to be a Christian but he must of flunked Sunday School because he gets many facts wrong in this stupid inept film. I know Kirk did not write this film but the Christian Bigot should of pointed all the facts that were wrongfully presented in the screenplay. Then again I am assuming that Kirk Cameron has a brain. He doesn't. He is just a middle-aged former teen heartthrob who can not act or even be a decent human. In this film Kirk's sister's annual Christmas party is about to be ruined by Christian, his brother-in-law, and Kirk realizes he has to show Christian how important Christ is to the holiday season.Kirk go away.
