Saint Nick of Bethlehem

I love movies based on true stories, and Saint Nick of Bethlehem is one that captivates and warms your heart. Inspired by Allen Smith, a real-life Santa Claus in central Pennsylvania, the film follows his journey from grief after losing his son to finding purpose by helping others. Set in Bethlehem, PA, the movie showcases local landmarks around Bethlehem and the Lehigh Valley which makes the movie all more special. The cast's chemistry brings a heartfelt emotion, delivering a story that makes you laugh, cry, and leave with love in your heart...and enough Christmas Spirit to light up the town. I will definitely be adding this movie to my yearly Christmas Movie watch list!

Such a BEAUTIFUL film 🎅🏻 SAINT NICK OF BETHLEHEM! This movie deserves to be shown nationwide! A movie for the WHOLE family...🎄The cast is superb! Danny Roebuck is the heart of the film! You will laugh...you will cry...The characters are so easy to fall in love with because they are real people. Bethlehem is the Christmas City thus how appropriate for this film to be shot here!? Sitting in a showing that was sold out, it is so very evident that people want MORE family friendly films with heart, soul, quality and inspiration. You get all of this in this holiday film! This film will be a holiday tradition!

This movie is proof you don't need a giant budget or incredible special effects to move an audience emotionally. I'm a cinephile - period. While this movie checks all the boxes of a holiday classic like A Christmas Story or Elf, it also does something unlike most holiday movies, even the excellent ones rarely do - it captures the heart. This is the best writing I've seen since Manchester by the Sea. This movie has the two things which are most important: Good writing (character development) and sublime acting. You want to see a great movie? Go see this one. It'll make you laugh, cry, and clap.

I love movies that are inspired by true stories. This is a true story inspired by Allen Smith, a real life Santa Claus in central Pennsylvania who after losing his son falls into a dark place. One thing that brings him out of it is doing good for others. He becomes the Santa Claus of his town and Saint Nick Of Bethlehem is about his story. A Christmas movie filmed in the Christmas city, Bethlehem PA, what can be better than that? This movie highlights familiar locations such as Kiffle Kitchen, St. Luke's Hospital, Hotel Bethlehem, the #1 historic hotel in the country to name a few. The cast works so well together bringing out great emotion. I love Movies where you both laugh and cry and leave the theater with a positive message. That is just what Saint Nick delivers! A wholesome, family friendly movie that will surely get you in the Holiday spirit, and we could all use that right about now.

I was at the premiere of this movie and I can say this is the perfect holiday movie. The entire sold out appreciative audience agrees with me. This heartwarming film, based on a true life story, is sweet, funny, sometimes heartbreaking, and inspiring. It takes us from a dark period in Nick's life through many coincidences and changes to a satisfying conclusion. (And it even involves a reindeer) Great for the whole family. Daniel Roebuck leads a very talented cast. Shot in historic Bethlehem,PA, the location is the perfect place to set a Christmas film. If you are looking for a warm and well produced holiday film, I highly recommend it.
