A Christmas Ham

About This Movie

A Christmas Ham (2025) captures a quirky sense of community in Normal, Illinois, blending comedy with a dash of holiday sentiment. Sophie, played by Madeline Sievers, starts off as a bit of a recluse, but her grandmother, portrayed by Lori Adams with a warm touch, is the catalyst for her holiday journey. The pacing has this delightful ebb and flow, moving from Sophie’s solitude to the chaotic charm of her Christmas adventure. There’s something distinct about the way the film handles its humor—it's light but never forced, allowing the characters to shine through. The performances feel genuine, particularly from the supporting cast, making the interactions feel lived-in. And that Christmas ham? It becomes a hilarious symbol of connection throughout the story. A lighthearted exploration of family ties and holiday spirit.
