From director Simon Otto, the animated feature That Christmas is based on a trilogy of books by the writer of Notting Hill, Love, Actually and more — Richard Curtis.
The title recalls a particularly memorable Christmas for Santa Claus (voiced by Brian Cox) as he recalls having to brave a blizzard with only one of his reindeer Dasher (Guz Khan) in order to deliver some much-needed gifts to the residents of Wellington-on-Sea, who become separated in many ways partially due to the storm. An ensemble cast weaves together in the Christmas story that also features the voices of Fiona Shaw, Bill Nighy, Jodie Whittaker and more.
