With their new horror thriller Guess Who, Tubi may finally have come up with a fairly original idea for one of their films. As far as I can tell, it’s the first film to use mummering as a major plot point. No, not mummies, mummering. What is mummering? Mummering is a Christmas-time house-visiting tradition practised in Newfoundland and Labrador, Ireland, and the City of Philadelphia.

As is often the case with low-budget, high-tinsel end-of-year films, it’s more vibe than narrative, more sweatpants than sequin frock. While some holiday specials thrive on the preposterous setups, Christmas With You keeps it simple and sticks with being more or less an excuse to bop around with the jolly trio who anchor the production. There’s Cristina (Deja Monique Cruz), a high school girl about to have her quiñcenera, her widowed father, and a Latina pop star named Angelina Costa who is struggling to compose...
