Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, A Christmas Star earns its spot. Sharp writing and a well-matched ensemble are what separate A Christmas Star from the crowd. Born under the Christmas Star, Noelle believes she has the gift to perform miracles, so when conniving developer McKerrod threatens her peaceful life she and her friends determine to use this gift to thwart his plans and save their village. Erin Galway-Kendrick and Liam Neeson lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 2015. The real test of any comedy is whether it is still funny once you know all the jokes, and A Christmas Star holds up on rewatch in a way that separates it from one-off curiosities. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

A Christmas Star is the kind of thing you put on in the background and end up fully watching. It rewards viewers regardless of what else is in their watch history. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single evening. Erin Galway-Kendrick anchors an ensemble with real chemistry. Genuinely funny, consistently, across the whole run.
