I was pleasantly surprised by Holiday in the Wild. This is a decent story that does not solely rely on Christmas for the entirety of its plot. That's what makes a good holiday movie, Christmas serves as a great setting and atmosphere.
The setting is fantastic by being set in Africa, which is so culturally rich and offers such a unique landscape for this film instead of the usual concrete hustle and bustle settings of other holiday films. Working with Elephants makes a great plot feature. The acting also sells this film really well, Kirstin Davis and Rob Lowe excel in their roles. Despite being reasonably predictable, this film is heartwarming and enjoyable to watch during the holiday season. It is certainly one of the better Christmas movies in recent times.
