Average viewer score of 5.9/10 from 45 ratings.
This is a very satisfying Christmas movie. There are too many characters and a few confusing plot lines, but overall, viewers will not be disappointed. Hearing Susan Boyle's incredible voice is an added bonus. The final resolution will put everyone in a good mood and ready to spread some Christmas cheer.

You know what, pretty good! Weird, but holds some charm. <em>'The Christmas Candle'</em> is rather religious-y, though I think it strikes a fine balance for the majority... until they deep dive into it with the ending admittedly, but as a full-blown atheist I can let it pass as it's a conclusion that stills works in film terms to be fair. The cast are a nicely chosen bunch. Hans Matheson stands out most in the lead…
