Our take
That Christmas is a Netflix animated holiday comedy about a town snowed in on Christmas. Comic peril, monster truck jokes, and a brief panic attack played lightly appear. One mild language moment. Gentle tone overall. Fine for elementary viewers with holiday humor
Uplifting themes
Community kindness and helping neighbors through the storm Town residents pull together when Christmas plans fall apart
Story (may spoil tone)
It's an unforgettable Christmas for the townsfolk of Wellington-on-Sea when the worst snowstorm in history alters everyone's plans — including Santa's.

Talk after watching
- Plans change when the weather turns. How can families adapt when holidays go wrong?
- Sam's panic attack is played lightly. How do real panic feelings differ from cartoon ones?
