The Night Before Christmas in Wonderland (2024)
The Queen of Hearts has outlawed Christmas because she didn’t receive the gift she asked for. Years later, Father Christmas finally unearths her lost letter and travels to the whimsical world of Wonderland. With the help of curious young Alice, can Christmas be saved?
Gerard Butler (300) voices St Nick, with Emilia Clarke (Game of Thrones) as the Queen of Hearts.
In their five-star review, Common Sense Media recommends the animated movie for ages 5+. As they say, “Delightful and inventive, this Christmas animation is an enchanting throwback in both style and story… Full of heart and plenty of ho-ho-ho moments.. this is a don't-miss holiday event.”
