Holiday Home Makeover with Mr. Christmas (2020) User Reviews

Love the Idea of the show

[allikmar · 6/10 · 20 November 2020]

I wish the camera wasn't so zoomed in so we can actually see entire setups of all the decorations in the rooms and homes!!!! I watched the first two episodes and felt like I couldn't really see the whole setup. While I really enjoyed it, I had to stop watching because it was so distracting. I love the idea of this show though, I love the holidays.

I loved it !!!!

I really loved this show, it gets you into de holiday spirit and actually gives some good tips for decorating

Barely Passes for Holiday Show-Needs a New Host

[stacyxlee · 4/10 · 25 November 2020]

Im sad because this show has a lot of potential but the host just doesnt cut it. He claims to be Mr Christmas but doesnt exude the genuine joy and creativity a true Mr Christmas should show. Additionally, he is a bit sloppy - his style, tone of voice, and even design style is just a tad off for some reason. I think if the show got a new host, it could be a lot more enjoyable to watch.

I watched it, but found it a bit odd

[Ellerina97 · 3/10 · 3 December 2020]

Don't know if it's because I'm not used to watching American reality programmes like this but I found the whole thing not to my taste. The host wasn't anything special and I felt some of the choice of families to be odd. I really liked the episode where they make over the fire station after the fire chief had died as I felt those people really deserved it and had a good reason for writing in to the programme. The other families I'm not so sure about. They had pretty boring reasons for "needing" his help in my opinion. I think the programme would be a lot more interesting if it was all a bit more like the fire station episode. Maybe if the families they picked were more in need financially or have had a really tough time emotionally (such as the dad who died in the fire station episode). One of the episodes had a family with a huge house, who it seems already decorated their house incredibly Christmassy every year. Not too sure why they needed his help. I think it's a good concept overall but it just needs some fine tuning.

Fun show to get you in the holiday spirit

I'm not usually a fan of makeover shows, but I really enjoyed this show! The episodes are the perfect length and it is just a fun, lighthearted show that was deeply appreciated this year. Mr Christmas and the cast are warm and engaging throughout the entire season. I look forward to another season!

Should only be to deserving families

[christinapuliatti · 4/10 · 26 November 2021]

The show is cute and a great idea. However, the families which were chosen, at times, really missed the mark. This would have been an amazing concept for families in need. I can't believe this wasn't the aim of a Christmas makeover show! Disappointed that this show didn't do more good for those who deserved it...

LOVE this show!

[cbroomand · 10/10 · 24 November 2020]

My daughter and I watched this show together and enjoyed every episode. Benjamin and his crew of elves do an amazing job and we even used ideas from some of the episodes. We just wish there were more than four! Looking forward to further seasons!!

Mr Christmas??

[mitchellparks-86910 · 1/10 · 29 November 2020]

Definitely not what I was expecting, didn't enjoy it.

Good idea, bad execution

[nardulli-83681 · 3/10 · 15 December 2020]

The host is not Mr Christmas. The idea of the show is good and could have been executed better. This show is boring with an even more boring host/team.

Great Idea but this is not Mr. Christmas

[zarcothellis-89899 · 4/10 · 25 November 2020]

"Mr. Christmas" is as authentic as the TJ Maxx quality decorations he stuffs into every square inch of space. Cringe-worthy choices. Netflix has been shooting blanks during 2020.

What's with the 4.9???

[planktonrules · 9/10 · 19 November 2020]

My oldest daughter loves shows about Christmas, so it's not at all surprising that we'd watch "Holiday Home Makeover with Mr. Christmas". However, what IS surprising is that the show has an abysmal current score of 4.9...with a lot of 1 ratings. I honestly wonder if these folks even saw the show or if they have some ax to grind, as it is a very enjoyable show and features many how-to crafts you could easily do yourself to decorate your home for the holidays. Overall, this is an enjoyable and magical sort of program...one that you can't help but enjoy. After I finish all four episodes, I'll probably revisit this review for an update. Regardless, don't believe the current low score...it's a fun reality program that you can't help but enjoy unless you really are another Scrooge.

Rich people getting help they didn't need

[cfsugar · 4/10 · 20 November 2023]

I liked the firehouse episode, decorating the firehouse was something the whole town enjoys and a tribute to the late fire chief. The rest though were all well-to-do people with big homes, and the third already had a ton of decorations. I was hoping they'd help people who are elderly or disabled or ill and couldn't decorate, or don't have money for decorations. Camera angles and cuts often made it difficult to see the diy process. Giant kitchens and livingrooms that are newly remodeled and have high end furniture and appliances don't really reflect the average viewer. Much of the Christmas decor is Instagram worthy, but kind of sterile.

I l🎅ve this show!!!

[hlarsondanielsfam · 10/10 · 20 November 2020]

"Mr. Christmas" is an incredible Christmas-loving human being! I was particularly impressed with Ben's capacity for compassion for those he's working to bless- and with his impressive kindness towards the sentiment of Christmas and how tender the time of year can be. Ben's ideas are fresh and fun and lovely and incredible and terrific! I love this show! I'm not a television watcher- I happened upon this- but this is time I'm happy to render to the joy of the season. 😊😊😊

A Very Christmasy 4-Episodes Show (I Love It)

[djabonillo-05584 · 3 December 2020]

I was browsing over Netflix's show to see what's next to watch after watching Christmas Chronicles Part 2 and Jingle Jangle. I was intrigued by this one since there was no promotion or advertisement regarding this show so I pay to watch. The 4 episodes are definitely heartwarming. Each episodes has different story to tell and how their holidays will be like. Mr. Christmas and his elves did a great job and how the letter-senders and their love-ones involves in doing the makeover. A fun show. Looking forward for next coming years.

Horrible taste In decorations

[ambrosio_marie · 2/10 · 15 December 2020]

Host is super nice but honestly the style, taste of decorations is super tacky. We want like over the top Christmas spirit!!

A lovely and inspiring show!

[btblewitt · 10/10 · 20 October 2021]

I'm a serious lover of Christmas and thought this was a fantastic show. I love that it gave ideas on how to make your own decorations. I just wanted more than 4 episodes!!!

A fun holiday watch

[lucyhillman-03553 · 9/10 · 29 November 2020]

I started watching one episode and ended up binge-watching the whole season. I wish there were more! It was feel-good show that was fun to watch, and I hope they do another season next year because I could see this becoming a tradition for the day after Thanksgiving.

Loved it

[etmc-56213 · 9/10 · 20 November 2020]

I really enjoyed this show so much, considering how 2020 has turned out it was nice to forget about it all and really appreciate Christmas! Shame there's only 4 episodes though I do hope they make more.
