The reveal at the end is quite good, tying things back to the original and, truly, the original(with its amazing prose) was a masterpiece compared to this one.
A Christmas Story Christmas is a 2022 American Christmas comedy film directed by Clay Kaytis from a script he co-wrote with Nick Schenk, from an original story co-written by Schenk and Peter Billingsley; it is a legacy sequel to A Christmas Story (1983).

"Scrap"
Here is a movie for people who don't have it all figured out: in other words, most of us.
“Scrap” is a small-scale story that feels so personal and authentic, yet it’s still universal in a way that encourages viewers to draw parallels to their own lives. In her film, writer, director, and star Vivian Kerr draws on the very real human fear of not getting what you want out of life. It’s something to which everyone can relate, and this is a movie for people who actually don’t have it all…

'A Christmas Story Christmas' builds on legacy of original film
‘A Christmas Story Christmas’ builds on legacy of original film
Ralphie Parker is back and while he may not want a Red Ryder BB Gun, he does want his family to experience the perfect Christmas. A Christmas Story Christmas takes place in 1973, 33 years after 1983’s A Christmas Story. Ralphie (again played by Peter Billingsley) has taken a year off from work to focus on his writing. His manuscript, which could arguably be considered Stephen King length (the…

A Christmas Story Christmas (2022, dir. Clay Kaytis) - review by Rookie-Critic
Tumblr media
I'm not going to lie, A Christmas Story Christmas had me worried at first. It already had some tall shoes to fill in following up what has always been my favorite Christmas movie, A Christmas Story (a lot of that is probably fueled by nostalgia, but I don't care it brings me so much joy every Christmas). I watched it on Christmas day with my family (most of whom had already seen it), and for the first 20 minutes of the film the vibe felt off. I can't put my finger on it, but it didn't seem like what the sequel to A Christmas Story should be. Peter Billingsley was there, and he was for sure acting like Ralphie, but it wasn't clicking for me. That was, until they brought in Flick and Schwartz (Ralphie's two best friends from the original film). After that it was like a switch flipped. I was laughing almost the entire time, and when I wasn't I was at least grinning. The whole experience made a complete 180 from where I had started the film at.
I want to really take a moment to applaud this movie for knowing the difference between homage and unoriginal retreading. A Christmas Story Christmas could have easily slid by on taking the events of the original and copy/pasting them into the events of this movie, and while there are moments that are similar in the sense that the same thing is occurring (bargaining for the Christmas tree, children getting bullied by the neighborhood menaces, a "triple-dog dare" situation), it's always either flipped on its head or framed in a way that gives it new relevance. The film adds in a handful of its own, original gags as well, and adds some welcome new pieces of Parker family Christmas lore (their attitude towards carolers being chief among them). All the returning characters are played expertly by their original actors, with the exception of Mrs. Parker, who is being played by Julie Hagerty (who you might know from Airplane) instead of Melinda Dillon this time around. Hagerty does a pretty good job of stepping into Dillon's shoes, and the change is barely felt at all. The main new additions to the cast, Ralphie's wife, Sandy (played by Erinn Hayes), and children Mark & Julie, don't quite fit right in with the eclectic cast of characters surrounding them, but the film does this intentionally and uses it as a further vehicle for humor. Hayes plays a great "fish out of water" character among the residents of Hohman, Indiana, and deserves just as much praise as the legacy cast members do for her performance.
Outside of the film's humor, there's a surprising amount of great emotional moments, as well. I found myself on the verge of tears multiple times and even allowing a full cry during a particularly emotional scene towards the end of the film. The movie pays massive homage to the late Darren McGavin, who played the father in the original film (or as he is referred to in both the original and this one, The Old Man), and it's in those scenes that the movie finds its heart. Is A Christmas Story Christmas actually as good as I'm making it out to be? Possibly not, it could be that I'm tying my nostalgic love for the original Christmas Story to this one and can't look past it, but at the very least this should be a relief and an absolute treat to those who love the original film like I do. Just make sure not to discount it based on the first handful of scenes.
Score: 8/10
Currently streaming on HBO Max.

Movie Review: A Christmas Story Christmas
After almost 40 years, Ralphie Parker grows up in the latest sequel to the 1983 Holiday Classic.
Rated PG for language and some rude material/behavior In the age of streaming services, films that entertained us decades ago, have been given an extended story life via streaming-exclusive sequels. The Walt Disney Company has done so with the likes of Hocus Pocus 2, and Amazon Prime gave us Coming to America 2. This Holiday season, HBOMax is looking to reroute the A Christmas Story multiverse,…

"A Christmas Story Christmas"
“A Christmas Story Christmas”
When it comes to good reasons to make a sequel to a beloved classic movie, “nostalgia” should never top the list. Yet here we are with the forgettable “A Christmas Story Christmas,” an unnecessary, unwanted, and unneeded follow-up to 1983’s “A Christmas Story.” Director Clay Kaytis leans heavily on fond memories of the first film, from relying on actual flashbacks to bringing back the same…
