Loved this warm hearted Christmas film. Quite funny in places although a bit predictable as most Christmas films are but well made all the same.
James Cromwell & the rest of the cast are great & left us both with warm Christmassy feelings. It really did what it said on the tin.
So much better than this years Lindsay Lohan Christmas film effort which i thought was cheesy & lame.
The young actress who played the little girl was absolutely delightful.
Left us thoroughly entertained without having to think too much which is what you want when you need a film to relax to.
We highly recommend this film.

Bud (James Cromwell) has been a grumpy old man since the death of his beloved wife Betty. He is closing his coffee shop store in this dying town. A reindeer flies over him and he crashes his truck. Claire (Sarah-Jane Potts) is coming home from London with her daughter Gloria (Darcey Ewart). Her brother wants to put Bud in an old-age home.
I love the grandpa granddaughter relationship. As for Prancer, I like the mystery of the first half. The magic is a bit underwhelming. I was expecting a ride to the North Pole, or finding a magical portal in the woods. I don't think switching on the lights is as awe-inspiring as it's being shown to be. That's the only disappointment in an otherwise sweet family film. I really like this kid and James Cromwell always delivers.

Classic Christmas film about a family that isn't the closest but come together when dad has an accident. Shows what can happen when family support each other in times of need.
Has everything you want from a Christmas movie - comedy and lightheartedness and a happy ending. What more could you want? One of the best I've seen for a while and I've seen a few!
The little girl that plays Gloria is a belting little actress and im sure she will have a good future.
Good story. Good acting. Gives the feelgood mood a Christmas film should do.
I highly recommend this film if you want a laugh and a happy cry.

I'm scratching my head as to why James Cromwell agreed to act in this. The writing is terrible, characters are flat and unbelievable. The producers seem to rely on cinematography to create something that will win you over.
Most of the acting is cheesy and the story is just meandering garbage. So disappointing.
This might be something you could leave on in the other room for some background noise, or something to entertain young kids if they're bored out of their minds.
Better yet, watch ANY other Christmas movie. Even the worst of cheesy/predictable Hallmark movies would be better than this.

Cute storyline
And the storyline involves relationships of different family members- as well as a small town business with local town people.
And beautiful snow snow snow scenes!
And magical lights - by a magical Christmas reindeer. Yes. Prancer is definitely back again.
Acting well done - and especially the young actress granddaughter and the actor grandfather
And definitely the reindeer Prancer who delivered in each and every scene
Good directing and storyline
Christmas magical story Very cute.
- especially with the young granddaughter slowly developing a relationship with her Grandpa -
