Who doesn’t love Christmas? After all, it’s “the most wonderful time of the year” as someone, perhaps Gibby Haynes, once sang. Many of us, after one too many egg nogs, have wondered what it would be like if it were Christmas Every Day. An entire year of beautiful light displays, rosy cheeked carolers, and endless overflowing vats of figgy pudding! What could possibly go wrong?

Christmas Every Day tells the story of a little girl who makes this exact wish and turns the planet into a cursed hellscape of tinsel and misery. Turns out that when Christmas comes every single day, it loses a bit of its luster. Ralphie’s Red Ryder antics will have you wanting to shoot your own eye out after a couple weeks, Mariah Carey’s warbling will drive you mad by mid-March, and where the hell are we supposed to put all these damn turtle doves? Two was more than enough to begin with!

It’s an animated morality tale that you should absolutely watch before your next encounter with a fairy godmother, lest you doom you and your loved ones to an eternity of Christmases, Thanksgivings, or heaven forbid, Arbor Days.
