one of the best African American Christmas movie I ever seen. this should be viewed by all black people and the whole family to see.

Cute movie! I really enjoyed the adult actors... it was fun. The little girl was way over the top and annoyed me (sorry if that’s mean, but I would have wanted that warning!). All in all, a decent Christmas movie with a fantastic soundtrack.

Dumb what did we just watch 😭 lame jokes and bad acting

It almost works thanks to Lil Rel Howery, but 'Dashing Through the Snow' ultimately falls flat. Howery does produce some good stuff as Santa, though he - as with the film in general, really - isn't given enough to work with to make it a success. There is mild amusement throughout, but the film needed more entertainment from its plot and much better pacing to be enjoyable. The bad guys are particularly poorly written and used, while the Xmas vibes aren't really all that abundant. The cast, namely Howery, Ludacris and Madison Skye Validum, all do try and are the film's strongest element. I just needed more from elsewhere with this, I could feel my interest waning from around the midway point.

Film 53 (Goal: 300) of 2024 You better watch out (get it), cause I'm about to enter my old man shakes fist at clouds phase. Now I knew what I what I was getting myself into this with this film, and this film isn't particularly bad, but it just highlights something I've known for a while. The concept for this film isn't that bad. It's not great either but there are plenty of Christmas films with weird concepts that are executed well. But what it comes down to, Christmas film or not, is the care and the execution. Elf is a pretty out there concept, but it executes with flying colours. And in the last few years especially since the streaming era really kicked in, the quality of a good Christmas film is so few and far between. I know, there's things like The Holdovers out there. But again, they're so few and far between, and I want more Christmas films that are light and enjoyable. And these films, with Dashing Through the Snow, just aren't cutting it. There's love missing and I just want a Christmas film that I can love again. Rant done... as for this film. Well, it has a really good early scene, with Eddie Garrick (played by Ludacris) trying to talk down a homeless man while they reminisce over Christmas. Honestly there's almost a really good idea for a dramatic film in that concept alone. But this scene is as good as this film gets for character establishment, as Ludacris gets progressively less interesting the further the film goes along. Lil Rey Howery has lots of confidence and he was really well cast but he just can't save this tired film, complete with corrupt congressman, incompetent goons and daughter who sees the spirit of Christmas. This might work for kids but I can see their interest waning quickly.
