Overview
- My Secret Santa began streaming December 3 on Netflix, starring Alexandra Breckenridge and Ryan Eggold with Tia Mowry and Madison MacIsaac in support.
- Early reviews describe a cozy, inoffensive watch elevated by Breckenridge, with several outlets noting formulaic plotting and familiar tropes.
- Critics repeatedly compare the gender-disguise premise and set pieces to Mrs. Doubtfire, citing affectionate homage more than reinvention.
- Breckenridge’s Santa transformation relied on extensive prosthetics that she said could take more than three hours, a commitment reviewers singled out.
- Filmed largely at Sun Peaks Resort near Kamloops, British Columbia, the production has spurred local interest, and while no sequel is confirmed, Breckenridge told PEOPLE she would be open to returning.
