Christmas Staycation

Like how Home Alone ecompassed a time before cell phones and the early 1990's, this film eccompassed a time when we couldn't leave our houses or see our family on Christmas because of a Covid-19 Pandemic. Now that we're a couple years after the worst of it, I recentley watched this film again for Xmas and it still holds up! Just as much as it did when it was released in December 20202. There's so many superb jokes and one-liners that make me crack up! Fans wanted a sequel last year and we may not ever get that, but maybe someday we'll get a Cousin Skeexo feature film (Skeex Skeex was my favorite character and I think other fans agree too), but in the meantime, I might watch this every Holiday season. It has just as much heart and hilarity as Home Alone, Elf, Love Actually, and other Christmas classics.

This Chrismtas Staycation film is a comedic computer screen film made on Zoom in December 2020! It takes place during the pandemic and has a great story. There's ANOTHER Christmas Staycation that came out this year that is NOT THIS! That is another movie that came out in 2015 and took this title for 2021. If you're looking for the original Christmas Staycation, this one is it! And it's worth the watch!!! Super original and filled with hard laughs and heart!

People are getting this confused with the movie of the same title on Amazon Prime. This is NOT THAT MOVIE! That movie came out in 2015 with a different name, this one came out on 2020 and has to do with the pandemic, but in a Very Funny way!!! It's actually the best Computer Screen Film I've every seen! You wouldn't think a comedy on Zoom could work, but with all the family storylines and like 10 jokes every minute, this Christmas Staycation is very well done!

Don't confuse this with the movie on Amazon Prime. This movie actually has a story! Christmas Staycation (2021) on Amazon Prime is actually A Dog For Christmas (2015), they just took the same movie and gave it a new title this year. This Christmas Staycation is a zoom moive from 2020 with actually heart and story! You can buy this Christmas Staycation on DVD at Barnes and Nobles and stream on Vimeo and Hoopla. 2 completey different movies!

If you're looking for a Christmas movie that really stands out, Christmas Staycation is it! This isn't like all those Hallymarky Snoooozefests and the production isn't at all like a Hollywood Blockbuster, but Christmas Staycation has more heart and laughs than any recent Christmas movie. Yeah, it's all on Zoom and the pandemic is a big part of it, but the story is heatfelt, the family has real problems, and the jokes are non-stop! The actors did a phemonal job with this and the writing is top-notch. If you need to a pick me up this holiday season, this is a total recommend!

This is not the Christmas Staycation on Amazon Prime. This is the original that came out in 2020 and has a much better story!!! Please don't confuse them. This one was filmed all over zoom and is about a family that physicallly can't be together. The one on Amazon Prime is a "A Dog For Christmas" (2015) that they renamed with this title. If you're going to review that movie, look up a "A Dog for Christmas" (2015). This movie, "Christmas Staycation" (2020) is not on Prime, but is on DVD and streaming on Hoopla and Vimeo.

When it comes to Computer Screen Films, the one genre that rules them all and that's Horror. So I was surprised to see there's also a Chrismtas comedy out there that makes you actially LOL. Christmas Staycation is short, sweet, and gets you out of the pandemic funk if you're still in it. I really loved the 3 siblings and the original storylines they had to deal with. The Zoom Santa "My Dad is dead" scene made me lose my s***! Amd there's plenty more of funny scenes afterward. The one drawback is the visual quality isn't top notch, but again, it's a computer screen film, so just enjoy the ride! And there's a lot to enjoy!

This movie will be a comedy staple of 2020. I've seen it a few times now and even after quarantine, the jokes still hold up. It's a quick, sweet, and very funny film. So much of the cast are dynamic, charming, and delivers the laughs. Annie Abrams does a phenomenal job as the lead, Marisa Dzintars is hysterical as Cousin Skeexo, and Jake McKenzie as the Zoom Santa is classic! The pandemic was terrible, but sometimes, you get comedic gold like this.
