✴️✴️We are not recommending this movie for a younger audience due to content that likely has intentions other than humor for its audience. Basically, aside from the Santa scenes, the first 30 + minutes of the movie is not appropriate for children and, whether intentional or not, contains a bit of content that could be passive indoctrination. The last half or two-thirds of the movie were pretty good, with themes of love, family, and the magic of Christmas.

1) 5 minutes 30 seconds – a child says Jesus was a hipster, he wouldn’t want us to do the same boring Christmas year after year, he would want a strictly vegetarian multicultural fun fest with lots of pop songs and stuff about climate change.
2) 5 minutes 53 seconds – School Christmas play has the “3 wise women”.
3) 6 minutes 53 seconds – “We used to be shepherds, but now we are organic vegetable farmers”.
4) The music playing during the Christmas play included – 1) Instrumental for Spice Girls If you want to be my lover, 2) Papa Don’t Preach by Madonna.
5) 8 minutes 46 seconds – Climate change is again mentioned.
6) 14 minutes – A mom is talking to her son and tells him “If love was easy, your father wouldn’t have run off with his 25-year-old dental nurse”
7) 25 minutes 55 seconds – A girl upset about getting turkey dinner says “they deserve to live” referring to the turkeys.
8) 26 minutes 28 seconds – A girl says “someone should do something about this hell-hole, referring to the turkey farm.
9) 27 minutes 30 seconds – A girl breaks into the turkey farm to free the turkeys.
10) 30 minutes 7 seconds – A girl says “rapidly evolving climate change disaster”.
