About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a heartfelt, fairy-tale Doctor Who holiday story with humor, wonder, and a few tearjerker moments; Not for you if you dislike sentimental retellings or rule-bending time travel like in Last Christmas.
Pros: magical Christmas fairytale vibe; funny, sad, exciting mix; strong lead performances | Cons: overly sentimental for some; familiar Scrooge setup; time-travel rules debated
