Synopsis

Feeling forgotten by the children of the world, old St. Nick decides to skip his gift-giving journey and take a vacation. Mrs. Claus and two spunky little elves, Jingle and Jangle, set out to see to where all the season's cheer has disappeared. Aided by a magical snowfall, they reawaken the spirit of Christmas in children's hearts and put Santa back in action.

  • Review by colin... ★★★½ 6

    I remember singing the Heat Miser v. Snow Miser song as a duet with the other most popular kid in high school for our final Christmas concert. A bunch of us went to Applebee's and I was approached with an offer of a fivesome that would involve me, the other kid and three girls. Instead of doing that, I decided to go on a date with a girl in my French class to get Panera and see The Force Awakens. That girl ended up being my girlfriend for two years who constantly gaslit me and sexually assaulted me until she broke up with me on Valentines Day.

    So, the conclusion that this film has led me to, and the real moral lesson that I have learned is this.

    If you are offered an orgy, just take it. The other outcome is bound to be much worse.

    At one point Heat Miser calls Snow Miser “tutti-frutti” as if he himself isn’t equally tutti-frutti.
