The parents' guide to what's in this TV show.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that A Loud House Christmas is a live-action TV movie, based on Nickelodeon's popular animated series The Loud House. The 51-minute film centers around Lincoln Loud, the only boy of 11 children, and his family as they prepare for Christmas. Despite being live-action, the story still highlights all the same zany and silly family dynamics that make the animated series stand out. Lincoln lacks parental supervision throughout the movie, and while his actions are fueled by good intentions, they often cause mischief and chaos. Themes include the importance of family traditions and appreciating time with loved ones, although these are underlined with silliness.

What's the Story?
Lincoln Loud finds himself struggling to keep his big, boisterous family together for Christmas in a A LOUD HOUSE CHRISTMAS. Lincoln is preparing for a fun, traditional holiday celebration at home when he learns that his siblings Lori, Luna, and Luan all have other plans. Seeing this as an opportunity to travel, this sudden change of plans prompts Mr. and Mrs. Loud to plan a trip to Miami for Christmas. Lincoln feels the holiday will be ruined if they don't do all their all normal traditions. He frantically enlists his best friend Clyde to help him plan a way to sabotage everyone's plans so they can spend the holiday together at home. But will Lincoln's ideas save Christmas for the Loud family or create total chaos in the town of Royal Woods?
Is It Any Good?
A silly, holiday-themed spin-off of The Loud House series, this is a light-hearted, prank-riddled movie that sparks holiday joy. While Lincoln is comically desperate to save the day, he does so with mischief and mayhem -- not serving as a great role models. A Loud House Christmas does highlight the ups and down of being a part of a large family, but lacks diversity in the community and among the main characters. Lincoln displays compassion for his family and perseverance in his plan throughout the film.
