Leah Thomas Cosmopolitan 12/13/2019
It's a show about stepping out of your comfort zone, admitting and accepting vulnerability, and appreciating the people you already have in your life who love you instead of pointing out what's missing. Go to Full Review
Brett White Decider 12/06/2019
A legitimately funny, well-crafted alternative to all the broad holiday fare out there. Go to Full Review

Kalissa H. @kali_416 Dec 9 So good, I really liked the characters See more john s 01/01/2022 i love that i can turn to netflix and find wonderful shows like this from around the world. Why do i love Home for Christmas? 1. the characters in the show are all imperfect, but wonderful in their own way. 2. acting is very good, 3. its soundtrack is great 4. locations, sets, cinematography all very well done 5. and it's a wonderful story about belonging, friendship and love which had me crying a few times. 6. like that its a more adult christmas series definitely 5 stars See more 12/24/2021 I have just binged both seasons and honestly fell in love with this hidden Netflix gem. A perfect view for the Christmas session. It is truly heartwarming and a feel good experience. I wish more seasons were available. See more 12/24/2021 This production has dropped off the Rotten Tomatoes software universe. Bottom line ? It is a seriously good production , very entertaining, extremely well done, and proves thew point that like Girl With The Dragon Tattooo, subtitles don't disqualify , dubbing does. See more joyce j 08/17/2021 This is Netflix's first Norwegian show and it is so delightful. The acting is superb and the English dubbing is excellent. The voice actors are great. The show is very well written -- all the side characters and the dialog and humor. This show does a great job of evoking warm Christmas feelings -- making it a great holiday show -- but is also a funny and heartwarming romcom. You definitely do not know what's going to happen, it keeps you on your toes. I laughed a lot, I cried a little. I also love the Scandinavian holiday traditions that are in the show that are totally new concepts for me as an American: hiding an almond in Christmas rice pudding, Christmas crafting kits and parties, Santa Lucia, sliding around town on snow carts, and more. Season 2 was just as good. See more 01/12/2021 Very very very entertaining characters. Very very very comfy Christmas-Snowy-Vibes. Very very very recommended to watch. We as a society need to have more acceptance and validation for a proud life as a Single. See more Read all reviews
