Storyline

Holly, blessed with an amazing singing voice, is all set to audition for the newly vacated spot in a legendary local Christmas group which was founded by her late mother years ago. Shocked and upset when the slot goes to the barely talented best friend of the group's leader, Marci, Holly sets out to create her own musical group, The Mistle-Tones. After challenging their rivals to a sing-off on Christmas Eve, Holly finds herself on a journey to the real meaning of Christmas with some new friends and a new love thrown in for good measure.

Best Christmas Movie of All Time Don't @ Me

This movie is the best movie of all time. If you disagree you are wrong. The plot is iconic, it's not an average Hallmark plot. It's a bit above average if I am being honest.

For one there is SINGING, which is a huge game changer.

Why else should you watch this? Because the characters are solid and you haven't seen them in ten other Christmas movies like the Hallmark actors.

Even better news the guy is low-key good looking. You won't have to sit through a cute movie with an ugly guy. Life changing if you ask me.

The movie is very funny, it can't get much better than this. "The Mistle-Tones" has all aspects of a solid Christmas movie. It isn't a classic Christmas film, but it will sure bring any Christmas romance movie lover great joy.

Also the singing is solid and entertaining. I tried learning the joy to the world dance which you can find on youtube, because the movie is just that iconic.

If you don't enjoy this Christmas movie, your heart is ten sizes too small.
