A comforting & visually captivating romance movie between two people as they navigate balancing work-life and personal-life and moving to the next level with a Christmas deadline. Bobby Flay is on movie poster, but I overlooked the dish in the center of the movie posted. Food is an integral part of the movie, so and food channel fans should see enough dishes to pique their interest. No car chases for the action fans, No robots for the SyFy Fans, No dragons for the fantasy fan, etc.

The movie opens with upbeat music amid the hustle and bustle of a beautiful family-owned combination Inn / Restaurant establishment. My movie knowledge is limited but I loved the sets and visuals, so will do my best to give two callouts using some restaurant lingo for fun. For setups, The (set decorator) Mike McGrath did an amazing job of making the background perfect for each scene. For plating skills, (Visual FX) PurpleDog Post Production made the movie visually stunning to watch, and this was viewed using Discovery+ on my laptop computer.

There were many dishes and a few drinks mentioned throughout the movie. Without giving to much away, I thought I would mention one drink. I am always on the lookout for (Big-8 Allergen) friendly options, so I wanted to mention the Smokey Apple Cider Margarita at 1:24:26.

I enjoyed the tranquil flow of this movie, and the Christmas vibe. Romance movies are not my niche, but the peaceful cadence of the movie relaxed me and the Food fascinated me.

A blend of National Treasure, The Goonies and Jackie Chan like "Parkour" or "free-running". I was wondering if Tom Holland would get any airtime without his Spiderman Web Shooters, but the Parkour scenes get him close to his web sling ways.

A wholesome, fun, and enjoyable action adventure.

The de-facto introduction first 18mins was dryer than bake-on Christmas day kale cookie not bitten-on until stale on Valentine's Day. I was hopeful that Scarlett Estevez would inspire great writing like that seen in previous work, a personnel fav but different center of target audience Lucifer show. Writers Sam Hollander, Josh Edmondson, Charity Daw did not disappoint. The extra written and visual details make Christmas Again fun to watch again and again.

This is a TV-G (9-14yr Olds) xMas family movie comedy think; Ground hog day, Parent trap, Scrooge. Seen from an 12yr old's perspective, as she struggles balancing the mindfulness concept of remembering the past but not living in the past, making room for the new during the present moments of life, and personal growth.

Some of the diverse world we live in issues touched on may not be present in your immediate household but are most like present in the 50-mile radius you live, school, or work in.

Subjects for Family Screening Consideration: Divorce, Remarriage, Mixed Race Marriage, Multiple Languages, Gay Uncles.

The movie "Christmas Again" was a joy for me to watch, Again and Again.
