If “Like It’s Christmas” is on your winter break playlist, or you grew up on Disney Channel, A Very Jonas Christmas Movie might be your next holiday watch. Starring Nick, Joe, and Kevin Jonas, the film focuses on this trio and their adventure to get home to their families for Christmas, all while tensions are high, and as predicted, everything starts to go wrong.
The highlight of the movie is the brothers’ obvious chemistry and natural banter. While watching the film, it feels like a documentary of how real siblings interact: poking fun at each other while capturing each of their different personalities. The movie also does a good job of leaning into the self-awareness of their boy-band past and present, finding humor through cheesy and Disney-style humor.
The film is a great family-friendly watch and a good time for people of all ages. It definitely leans into the many holiday tropes: silly misunderstandings, heartfelt moments, and sentimental messages about the importance of family. There are also a few original songs and new additions to the discography that excited and made their fans especially happy.
One of the best surprises in A Very Jonas Christmas Movie is the parade of cameos that show up during the film. Some, but not all of the fun guest appearances, include Will Ferrell, Randall Park, Jesse Tyler Ferguson (as Santa), Andrew Barth Feldman, and KJ Apa. Each character added its own unique twists and extra laughs to keep the movie’s plot thickening.
Whether you’ve been a longtime fan or are looking for a lighthearted and festive movie to watch with your family and friends, this one delivers plenty of holiday cheer.
