"Doesn't really follow any of the usual formulas" for Christmas horror.
Vern's Reviews
"A very good cast" with inherent "peppiness."
GBHBL
"Shockingly well made Christmas comedy of errors horror type jam" with "humor that actually lands!"

Years ago, a tragedy on Christmas Eve trapped the Spirit of Christmas in young Cole Martin's mind. Now an adult, Cole is haunted by guilt and the spirit's insistent plans. When a teenage girl resembling his lost sister posts about her holiday blues, the spirit sees a perfect opportunity for redemption. As Cole stumbles through a wild comedy-thriller, he must navigate his sanity, the ancient spirit's schemes, and the whims of a capricious teenager.
