Where Are You, Christmas? | 2023 Christmas Movies

I have to admit - the commercials for this one got me. A movie that does a reverse Wizard of Oz? It starts in color then goes black and white? It had me intrigued. But was it any good?

Addy (Lyndsy Fonseca) is an advertising executive whose job it is to market Christmas. However, Addy had lost her Christmas spirit. She is finally convinced to come home for the holiday but finds herself overwhelmed with the town’s celebrations. Addy makes a random wish for a year without Christmas. But did she really mean it?

Where Are You, Christmas? has such a cute concept. Addy’s wish makes everyone in town forget Christmas altogether and it’s up to her to make everyone remember again. I know that we couldn’t watch every single person come back to color but it would have been nice to see a few more people that aren’t directly connected to Addy somehow. But I do appreciate the ones that we did see.

This is the type of movie that someone who is looking for a little more than just a romantic Christmas movie. Interpersonal relationships of all kind are focused on here. Friends, lovers, parents and children. It really shows that we shouldn’t take anyone for granted and we should celebrate our loved ones at every chance.
