That said, the movie itself is a comforting holiday film that will have you smiling, laughing and of course, cringing, because what is a Netflix holiday movie without some cringe? Extremely cliche yet relatable, Let It Snow deals with teenage relationships and friendships, and understanding sexuality and family life. With very different character lines and events, the film doesn’t even seem to have been created with the novel in mind.
