"A cut above the usual holiday dross."

"A resplendent Santa Claus origin story with a star-filled cast, sumptuous visuals, and some melancholy details to keep it from being too sugary."

"Pulsing through this winning adventure tale is... the immersive power of storytelling."

"Big-hearted and entertaining, but possibly lacking a little fun or oomph. A lovely warming film, though."

"An enjoyable, good-natured, completely secular and inclusive yarn."
