	Author	Review
United States	Courtney Howard Variety	"With its saccharine score, saturated cinematography, and trite platitudes, the film is formulaic and forgettable except for Russell’s performance as the lovable legend."	NEG
United Kingdom	Jamie Healy Radio Times	"While it may not be a keepsake to match the best festive classics, this has pleasing stocking-filler appeal (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Stephen Snart The Guardian	"You would be forgiven for thinking this movie was made in 1992 (…) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	William Bibbiani IGN	"Kurt Russell is one of the all-time great movie Santa Clauses in 'The Christmas Chronicles', a conventional but likable holiday fantasy with a charming cast and a few imaginative scenes."	POS
United States	Charles Bramesco AV Club	"Kurt Russell could’ve just cashed the check (...) [but] he nobly refuses to give himself that pass (...) The film doesn’t know how to get out of its own way and foreground what’s working"	NEU
United Kingdom	Dan Jolin Empire	"Russell’s Santa is a bracing blast of fresh air (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
