In 1843 London, legendary author Charles Dickens (Dan Stevens) is desperate for another success after a string of flops, and soon finds inspiration in the people around him and his own desire to be a better person. He begins to write his iconic novella 'A Christmas Carol', which eventually helps transform Christmas from a minor holiday into a celebration of family ties and goodwill. (Icon Home Entertainment)

A nice film about how Christmas originated and who was behind it, or at least a film that tries to tell us that Charles Dickens greatly changed the perception of Christmas with his "A Christmas Carol" and contributed to the idea that Christmas is primarily seen as a holiday of peace and tranquility, but also of love and friendship. Enjoyable performances by the actors.
