Naughty or Nice

Life is not going well for Krissy Kringle (Hilarie Burton) during the Christmas holiday season. The hot water is out. She's expecting to be promoted but gets fired instead. She's the only without decorations despite being on Candy Cane Lane and gets harassed by her neighbor. She is mistakenly delivered Santa's Naughty or Nice list. The book reveals everybody's naughty acts. Krissy uses it to out people and take revenge against her enemies. For a Hallmark movie, this actually has an interesting premise. There are a few laughs. Hilarie Burton has a little fun. It's pretty good considering it's Hallmark. It is a little clunky and the production has its limitations. It needs a few more rewrites and a few more bucks. I really like some of the ideas in the premise.

Hallmark take on this movie was interesting. Chrissy Kringle gets made fun of since they think she's Santa, lost her job and someone who she thought was her best friend was not. This movie was interesting but can be predictable at times

Just watched this one again after a few years. Hillary Burton as Krissy Kringle from Candy Cane Lane made this character her own (but they named it Candy Cane Lane after she moved there). A funny fantasy story with some good emotion. Loved the role of Marco who helped her make this movie Hillaryous. Jessica Tuck who I recognize from Judging Amy had a memorable role. We have well known Meredith Baxter and Michael Gross in minor roles as her parents. My wife's positive comment "finally a movie where the boy friend is actually the right guy for her". This was Hillary Burton's first and best Christmas movie. Let's vote it into the Christmas Movie Hall of Fame. Excellent Movies like this probably assures a Christmas Movie Hall of Fame some day. She is in Christmas on the Bayou (2013) and Last Chance for Christmas (2015). I look forward to her new movie this year Christmas Contract (2018).

An entertaining, Christmas comedy drama involving a single professional woman who has a terrible day and mysteriously ends up with Santa's "Naughty or Nice" book. In this pleasant and somewhat different and balanced movie, Naughty or Nice is a worthwhile, if not classic addition to the Christmas Holiday movie genre.

Loved this movie. The acting was excellent, and the heroine's lapse into ridiculousness is very brief. My pet peeve with Hallmark is they like to make the heroine emotional to the point of illogical. I thought the plot was different, and I usually don't like the fantastical themes, but this one was well played. Only criticism was that I didn't think there was a ton of chemistry with the boyfriend.

The first time I saw this movie, I didn't care for it. It just didn't have anything outstanding about it...yet it really wasn't boring and didn't have any annoying characters. So it didn't deserve an immediate "thumbs down."..........After seeing it the second time, it started to grow on me. And the third time, even more so........I attribute its increasing appeal is due to the increasing number of lousy Christmas movies that Hallmark has been presenting last year and this year. So in comparison, this movie became better.........I can't say it's really one of my top favorites, but I like that it stays focused on Christmas with a magical theme. All the players were well-casted, and they did well..........I would certainly prefer to watch it again, rather than watch the movies a second time that deserve an immediate "thumbs down."

Normally these xmas tv movies are pretty dreadful. but this one was genuinely funny. The main cast had real comedic chops. Not your usual Christmas fair. Definitely worth a watch.

We have been waiting for this movie to be broadcast on Hallmark again this season (2016) and have been very disappointed. It is a favorite for my wife and I. The story is interesting, the acting is very good, and its story is somewhat unique and captivating. All the actors and actresses do a very good job, and "lessons" presented are very good ones, and we would highly recommend this for families, couples, and individuals. We also recommend that each of the Christmas movie channels (e.g. Hallmark, Ion, and Up at the very least) add this movie to their regular line up. I will explore whether Net Flix has this movie in their catalog.
