“Kate is a young woman subscribed to bad decisions. Working as an elf in a year round Christmas store is not good for the wannabe singer. However, she meets Tom there. Her life takes a new turn. For Kate, it seems too good to be true.” This is a really good romance and comedy movie, with a really good twist.
This movie is a really good christmas romance movie and I will now be watching it every christmas till forever.

Trivia
Here are a couple of cool facts which I found were interesting:
- Emilia Clarke did her own singing in this movie.
- Director Paul Feig was originally not interested in doing another holiday comedy, after his previous entry, Unaccompanied Minors (2006), was a critical and commercial failure. However, after reading the script, personally sent to him by Dame Emma Thompson, he was convinced.
- Emilia Clarke did her own singing in this movie.
- Loosely resembles A Christmas Carol as Kate is like Scrooge starts off selfish and meets a ghost who brings out the best in her not knowing that it was a ghost.
- Wham! donated all of the royalties of the original song, Wham!: Last Christmas (1984), to Ethiopian famine relief.
