Thoughts
It feels like we’re lacking brand new credible festive movies this year, so grabbed at this one with both hands after loving the first one. It didn’t quite live up to that original from last year, but it was still pretty good - nice and frothy and with the addition of a Sam Ryder song and the fabulous Krakowski… excellent.
It had just as many plot holes as the first, this time less map based and more weather based, but still, it’s really ramped up the Christmassy feeling in the household, so good on Asa and Cora. Weird for them to have so much screen time together!
