A Boy Called Christmas
I’m not usually one to correct Dame Maggie Smith, but she seems to have some seriously out-there ideas about the origin of Santa Claus, at least according to the Netflix movie A Boy Called Christmas. It apparently involved a talking mouse, a village of elves called Elfheim, maybe a witch, a troll, and, of course, a boy who journeys on an adventure into a snowy wasteland in hopes of finding happiness for his kingdom, except the kid’s name is Nikolas instead of Christmas, so I have no idea to whom the title is referring.
Where can I watch A Boy Called Christmas?
On Netflix, November 24. The streamer clearly has high hopes for A Boy Called Christmas, as it’s assembled quite the cast, including Smith, Toby Jones, Sally Hawkins, Kristen Wiig, Michiel Huisman, Zoe Colletti, Jim Broadbent, and Stephen Merchant as the voice of the mouse.
