It is officially the Christmas season, and Netflix has been dropping back-to-back holiday films, with A Boy Called Christmas being the latest addition to the list.
Directed by Gil Kenan, A Boy Called Christmas is a reimagination of the story of Father Christmas and how Christmas began. The film is based on the 2015 book of the same name by Matt Haig. It tells the tale of a boy called Nicholas who goes in search of his father and comes back with 'hope' and a joyous thing called 'Christmas', which was unknown before.
The film stars Henry Lawfull as Nikolas and Maggie Smith in the role of Aunt Ruth.
