What's the Story?
HOLIDAZED weaves storylines of generational misunderstandings, high school crushes reunited, hidden engagements, new relationships, and divorced parents with younger new partners, all together in a complicated yet endearing Christmas series.
Is It Any Good?
Even if you're not a fan of Hallmark movies, there's a charming quirk to this sweet series that could turn you around. Is Holidazed formulaic? Yes, but you won't be mad at it. With so many storylines, there's bound to be relatable content somewhere within, and even if there isn't, the brevity and gentle pacing make it comfortable background viewing while you wrap presents or wash dishes.
Talk to Your Kids About ...
Families can talk about any number of the presented issues within Holidazed. How does your family deal with the potential of "holiday drama"?
Everything is decorated for Christmas in Holidazed, and the entire community participates in events from street fairs to matching sweater karaoke to ornament decorating contests. What are some community events that your family enjoys around the holiday season? Are there ways to include friends who celebrate different things in different ways?
Some of the families struggle with differences in food restrictions, or introducing new partners to the group. Can you think of a time that there was something or someone new and different at the holidays? How did your family embrace or incorporate that new element of change?
