This film is cheesy, yes, but not too cheesy to enjoy with the kids.

...one can't help but goggle at the fact that Disney keeps greenlighting these abominable things.

This film merits both a lump of coal and a candy cane for its mixed results.

A childhood classic for me I used to love watching this every Christmas, of course from frosty, but the villain is really evil and she needs to be arrested. I recommend this to your kids if they believe in Santa merry Christmas.

Awful story, terrible CGI, and quite frankly, a scary Santa Claus to petrify the children.

They seriously had a little orphan girl say "is Santa going to die?" As Santa lies dying. This is just what I wanted for Christmas.

I like half of the movie. I don't like the mean spirited scenes and some characters but other parts including songs, every Sad scenes, and the ending as well.
