Jack Vasen I didn't think I was going to like this sequel since I was so down on the first one, but I was pleasantly surprised.The story is quite original. It is still a bit preachy about faith and hope and trust, but the extremes of "Once Upon a Christmas" are toned down quite a bit.The acting is better, although it still isn't real good. I reckon most of that to the fact that this movie appears to be aimed more at children. That means that the bad guys play a little meaner and the good guys a little more sweet and pure.Kathy Ireland is undoubtedly a beautiful woman who can appear almost angelic, but she just tries to hard and it shows. Every line seems like she is trying too hard to sell what she is saying. The kids are good again. John Dye is better as the dad and boyfriend.Some of the humor comes through better because it is less exaggerated.Much of what I have found lacking is probably just what a kid audience needs, so I expect kids will enjoy far more than I did.

OllieSuave-007 Model Kathy Ireland returns as Kristen Claus, the daughter of Santa Claus, is this sequel to Once Upon a Christmas, where she has to deal with her sister, Rudolfa, who is secretly selling pieces of the North Pole. She also wants to replace Santa's workshop with a casino.The corning acting continues in this movie, with Ireland and John Dye, who plays Bill Morgan, not giving any acting performances that blew me away. Mary Donnelly-Haskell as Rudolfa Claus couldn't pull off a very convincing or conniving villain. And, you get those two annoying kids again along for the ride.The plot of an actual villain though and Kristin Claus forgetting that she is the daughter of Santa were the only tidbits of intrigue in the movie. The rest of the movie contained happy-go-lucky stuff and unlikable characters. Overall, it's OK to overlook this movie as well.Grade D

itsMADDIE I know it's kind of sad, but I loved it! It's so much fun to watch with your family during the holidays! You can watch it alone, too but I watch it every year on Family channel and it makes you feel all Christmas-y! It is kind of cheesy but I always enjoy watching it and nowadays cheesy movies can be appreciated like High School Musical. That movie is BEYOND cheesy but it's such a big success. This is a movie that the whole family will love. I recommend watching it! I don't know what else to say but I enjoy it every single time. It's so happy and fun you just have to smile. After watching it you'll feel all excited and ready for the holidays I guarantee it!I would love love LOVE if there was a third one to this movie! So whoever wrote this please make another one! I wish I knew where I could buy this movie because I will! :) Two thumbs up!

ntsuno To be honest, the first movie is a little bit better than the second one, but it still is a very nice movie to see on Christmas Eve. The story is predictable, Kirsten her memory is gone in the first part (Ones upon a Christmas) , and her sister will distroy Chrismas for the second time. Kirsten will get back her memory after some time. I must say, is stays very nice to see Katy Ireland on the screen.A Christmas movie must not be a difficult story in the first place. I hope they will make a third one with this crew.
