The Mistle-Tones | Blogmas Day 21
It's Blogmas day 21! I found this film on Disney+ and picked it for two reasons. One, I love Tia Mowry (who plays the main character), and two, it was a musical, which I also love. When Holly (Tia Mowry) doesn't get into her neighbourhood Christmas singing group, she and her co-workers form their own group, The Mistle-Tones. This was the Christmas musical that I had been waiting for this year. I've seen others, but none where the story and music are both important, and both good! The story is unique and interesting - particularly because of the character of Holly, who is sweet and endearing from her first second on screen. Speaking of the characters, I completely loved all of Holly's co-workers. They didn't get a lot to do, but they rounded out the story really well and were so fun to watch. Now the songs. This film takes Christmas songs that we already know and remixes them slightly. They're not unrecognizable, but they're different from what we hear ever...
