"Christmas with the Campbells" arrived in select theaters this past weekend, but people will more likely check out the surprisingly hilarious R-rated take on the Hallmark holiday romance formula by way of streaming on AMC+ or rental through the digital platform of their choice (it's only 5 right now!). With the film arriving at the perfect time, we're hoping it's finding an audience by providing a refreshing take on the dozens of made-for-tv movies that create a flurry of cheesiness around the holidays.

In “Crashing Through the Snow,” Amy Acker and Kristian Bruun star as Maggie and Jeff, who are ex-spouses but friends first. When Jeff’s new girlfriend, Kate (Brooke Nevin), spontaneously invites Maggie along to their Christmas getaway in Aspen, she jumps at the chance to spend a Yuletide holiday away with her two daughters. Although Maggie feels like a third wheel crashing their Christmas, she’s not alone, as Kate’s hapless brother, Sam (Warren Christie), shows up unannounced.

For single mom, Maggie O’Donnell (Ashley Williams), Christmas has always been a family occasion but this year, with her daughter Ellen away with her father for the holidays, Maggie’s facing her first Christmas alone. That is, until she quite literally crashes into Lucas Cavelli (Niall Matter) at a Christmas tree lot.
