Synopsis
That Christmas (2024) is an animated family film you can watch online on iFILM. Directed by Simon Otto, this British production drops a record-breaking blizzard on the cosy seaside town of Wellington-on-Sea — derailing every plan, every delivery, and Santa's entire route in one go.
When the snow locks everyone indoors, strangers end up at the same table and estranged neighbours finally talk. The voice cast reads like a British theatre roll call: Brian Cox, Bill Nighy, and Fiona Shaw bring weight and warmth to characters who could easily have stayed cardboard. The script draws from Richard Curtis's children's books — the same writer behind Love Actually — so the sentimentality is sharp-edged and earns every scene.
It works equally well for adults tired of hollow holiday cheer and for kids who haven't seen a Christmas film with actual stakes. Stream That Christmas (2024) online on iFILM.
