Emmanuelle Vaugier and Carrie Fisher star in the Hallmark holiday film _It’s Christmas, Carol!_ The story follows a cold-hearted publishing executive named Carol who is visited by the ghost of her former boss on Christmas Eve, and is shown the error of her ways and what futures may lay in store. Both Vaugier and Fisher give strong performances, but some of the supporting cast are rather weak. However, the writing’s kind of clever in how it acknowledges and adapts the Charles Dickens novel, and the comedy is fun and delivers some good laughs. While it has a few problems, _It’s Christmas, Carol!_ is an entertaining modern take on Dickens’ story that stays true to its spirit.

What the world needs is more Christmas Carol remakes. This one comes from the HCMU and features Princess Leia as a Force Ghost. Average HCMU with a pretty good cast and very attractive lead.

Charles Dickens' classic Yuletide plot may have been done dozens of times, but this is one of the best adaptations of "A Christmas Carol" I've ever seen. Not only was it entertaining and uplifting, but it encouraged me to make some changes so that I don't end up alone one day like Carol nearly did. Great stuff!
