Christmas movies are readily available at this time of year once more. The Hallmark line of holiday tales has developed into its own distinct subgenre and has started to appear on Netflix and other platforms. With christmas with the Campbells, an awkward, syrupy twist on some of the brand's most well-known clichés, AMC+ is now joining the fray. However, there are some head-scratching elements that are difficult to get past, despite Brittany Snow's sweetly earnest efforts to elevate the material. Due to its predictability or cheesiness, holiday-themed fare like this may be simple to dismiss.

Jesse (Snow), an amateur photographer, enjoys the simple pleasures in life, to to the dismay of Shawn, her hotshot jerk of a lover (Alex Moffat). When Shawn suddenly breaks up with her, Jesse is joyfully preparing to spend the holidays with him and his family in their charming tiny town. christmas is quickly approaching. Shawn's mother Liz (Julia Duffy) nevertheless urges that Jesse see her and her husband Robert despite this (George Wendt). It seems like the ideal situation as Shawn has opted not to return home for Christmas. However, after Shawn's attractive cousin David (Justin Long) shows there and completely charms her, Jesse starts to regret her choice to spend time with the Campbells.

Shawn is a one-note character who appears to be solely focused on sex and money, in that order, as written by Vaughn, Dan Lagana, and Barbara Kymlicka. Shawn's extreme lack of depth makes him at odds with the moral story that christmas with the Campbells is attempting to communicate, despite the fact that Moffat nails his sleaziness. The same is true of the sexual humour that is sprinkled throughout; even though nothing ever happens as a result of it on film, christmas with the Campbells contains many obscene phrases. Both the crude humour and David's comments about kissing his aunt don't fit in with the romantic part of the story.

Although Long's accent occasionally runs the risk of seeming a little too goofy, he does a good job of portraying David's endearing sense of honour. The remainder of the christmas with the Campbells group consistently delivers. Along with Moffat, Duffy and Wendt create a cute (and unexpectedly filthy) couple on film, while JoAnna Garcia Swisher performs admirably despite receiving some absolutely cringeworthy innuendos disguised as common speech.

Christmas with the Campbells makes some significant attempts to break the pattern of traditional holiday films, but in the end it just becomes more of the same with some awkward moments. Some of the other components are lacking, but are made up for by the sincerity of its actors, notably Snow. The audience, however, is unlikely to remember this romance after just one viewing. This holiday season, there are many additional offerings that bring more cheer.
