The Father Christmas film series is an American/Canadian trilogy, starring Erin Krakow and Niall Matter, based on the novels of Robin Jones Gunn. The films were originally broadcast in the USA on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, as part of the channels' "Miracles of Christmas" seasonal programming. No-fly family holidays don’t come much more dramatic than this. You hurtle down to Bourg St-Maurice, via Paris, on a high-speed mix of Eurostar and TGV and then ascend to Les Arcs on a funicular railway. Here, at Arc 1950, you’ll find a pretty, wraparound development of inexpensive, off-duty ski apartments, with an expansive spa, kids’ clubs, several outdoor pools and enough activities to fill an entire summer. On top of all the hiking, climbing routes and via ferratas, mountain bikers get 92 miles of waymarked trails and ten bike-ready lifts, and there’s white-water rafting down in the valley too. Thrill-seekers aged five and up can also make an exception to any no-fly pronouncements by strapping in for a tandem paragliding flight.Countdown to Christmas: Hallmark Movies Filming in Vancouver & British Columbia".

Will admit to not liking the story as much, this aspect had a good deal more freshness in 'Finding Father Christmas' and tonally it felt more focused tonally. Actually didn't mind that the film was predictable, but the moments of bizarre silliness and not always tight enough pace were less forgivable.

Found myself really liking the first film 'Finding Father Christmas', which did live up thankfully to its intriguing premise. It was not a masterpiece certainly, but it was one of the best 2016 Hallmark Christmas films and one of their better Christmas films overall too in my view. It similarly contained some of the best work of both Erin Krakow and Niall Matter. Seeing that they had returned for its follow up 'Engaging Father Christmas', expectations were far from low.

If you truly can't not invite certain people, set some ground rules for yourself in advance and loop in trusted guests ahead of time who might be willing to take rotating Difficult Person Attendant shifts or help you swiftly contain any asshole outbreaks.

"I’ll ask Sibling to keep an eye on the punch bowl, because if That Cousin tries to put apple cider vinegar in all the drinks again, we will have WORDS, and possibly PISTOLS at DAWN.” Your job as the host of a feasting-focused occasion is to ensure that there is enough food—and a variety of it that guests with different needs can eat. (If people bring food for everyone to share, ask them to label what they bring clearly in recognition of those needs.)
