In Disney+’s holiday comedy “Noelle,” Kris Kringle’s daughter is full of Christmas spirit and holiday fun, but wishes she could do something “important” like her beloved brother Nick, who will take over from their father this Christmas. When Nick is about to crumble like a gingerbread cookie from all the pressure, Noelle suggests he take a break and get away…but when he doesn’t return, Noelle must find her brother and bring him back in time to save Christmas.

Yeah, last year, we loved Christmas Chronicles. Guess I’m dusting off In Mid Stream to review this one. It does look very funny, and Shirley McClain? Wow.

I saw the trailer on YouTube last night and it looks cute. I dig Anna Kendrick and it should be a fun watch as the holiday season approaches.

Just finished watching this and I really enjoyed it. Anna Kendrick was terrific in this. Funny, charming and has a positive message. It's a really good movie for all of you to watch with your kids.
It's a little early for something Christmas themed, so it's up to you if you want to hold off and wait until more closer to Christmas time. But, it's definitely worth watching.

As Djariya points out it is a bit early to be watching a straight up Christmas movie but I have been wanting to see this for the longest time so after The Mandalorian it was the second item I viewed on Disney+. I totally get that this might have had a theatrical release were it not for Disney deciding to have a high profile original film or two teed up for Disney+.
I thought the colors really popped (Anna Kendrick’s outfits are especially great looking in Ultra HD), and the antics of the reindeer were fun to watch. I think this film would have had no problem attracting a family audience to make some money if it had hit theaters but I am also glad Disney put this up on the first day they took the serious leap into becoming a streaming giant.
In addition to Bill Hader and Anna Kendrick, it was also fun to see folks like Michael Gross in this (I love him, from his Family Ties days to his Tremor films, a character actor that I really like).

This was definitely targeted to families, but I liked it. I like Kendrick, the concept didn’t feel stale, and it had some laughs.

I have watched this twice (kids). As someone from Phoenix, I despise how many times they hit you over the head that it is set in Phoenix. Every chance they get, they mention it. Obnoxious. Not a bad flick though. Has some funny parts.
Too bad they filmed this in Georgia rather than Phoenix. Stupid tax credits.
