Through a series of misunderstandings featuring a cop both bad and incompetent (Vincent D’Onofrio), Eric ends up arrested on suspicion of cooking meth. The plot: Eric Roth (Luke Grimes) is attempting to track down his long-lost father, so he heads to El Camino, Nev., just before Christmas with nothing to go on but the name and address from an old letter. One character does say, “It’s a Christmas miracle!” when a beer cooler kicks back on, but then immediately gets a six-pack out before it has a chance to chill. You get 84 minutes of run time and - outside of carols over the opening and closing credits and one forced rendition of “Joy to the World” - the story has absolutely nothing to do with the holidays.

In fact, if you pay attention to a lot of made-for-TV Christmas movies, you’ll notice that they’re really just generic romantic comedies that happen to take place in late December, stealing holiday valor for atmosphere and a little extra emotional punch.Īnd that brings us to El Camino Christmas, a new Netflix original film released along with A Christmas Prince.Įl Camino Christmas is barely a movie, and it’s certainly not a Christmas movie. (Photo: Netflix)Īs December rolls around, you can count on certain traditions: The trimming of the tree, the lighting of the menorah, and the debate about whether Die Hard is a Christmas movie.
