THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – ONCE UPON A CHRISTMAS (2009)

 

When the Naughty/Nice list is produced at the Northpole Santa is stunned to find that there are more Naughty children on the list than Nice for the first time ever so Santa (Douglas Campbell) refuses to go on with Christmas and leaves with Mrs. Claus (Rebecca Toolan) on their first Hawaiian holiday.

This is great news for firstborn daughter Rudolfa (Mary Donnelly-Haskell) who is waiting in the wings to succeed him and wants to turn Christmas into a creepy prank festival, but her gentle younger sister Kristen (Kathy Ireland) begs for the chance to save Christmas by redeeming a family who have lost the Christmas spirit, the Morgan’s.

 

Workaholic Widower Bill Morgan (John Dye) spends all his time on business and a budding affair with a close, equally workaholic spinster colleague, Harley Jones (Rachelle Carson) while his brother-in-law, Uncle Johnny (Wayne Thomas Yorke) acts as a poor role model to the cynical, materialistic, spoiled brats Kyle (James Kirk) and Brittany (Kirsten Prout).

Kristen arrives at the Morgan’s as the new au-pair, of which she has had a long list of predecessors, and slowly wins the kids over, helped by Johnny, who fears eviction, and begins to restore the Christmas spirit in the household which will ultimately save Christmas and thwart Rudolfa’s evil plan.
