As the winter holidays approach, among people's most beloved activities is doing a binge-watching session of their favorite Christmas classics.

The movie was indeed considered a"sleeper film." It achieved modest success at the box office, but disappeared quickly, falling into oblivion, perhaps also due to the little promotion it received.
