Top critics, in their words

Had "Saving Christmas" run any longer, Cameron would no doubt have found a way to find the divinity in Frosty, Rudolph, the Grinch, peppermint bark, the Elf on the Shelf, frosted cranberry hand soap and Mr. Hanky the Christmas Poo.
Alonso Duralde, TheWrap

Virtually everything about this production feels thrown together.

This may be one of the least artful holiday films ever made. Even devout born-again Christians will find this hard to stomach.
Bill Zwecker, Chicago Sun-Times
Rotten
With a smile so wide and laughter that sounds so forced you half-expect the camera to pull back to reveal hostage takers, Mr. Cameron explains how several facets of the holiday - the tree, Santa Claus, gifts - have roots in religious tradition.
Ben Kenigsberg, New York Times
