Sweet and Cheesy Trailer for Netflix Holiday Movie OPERATION CHRISTMAS DROP
Netflix has dropped the trailer for their latest holiday movie, Operation Christmas Drop. The movie stars Kat Graham, Alexander Ludwig, Aaron Douglas, and Virginia Madsen, and it was directed by Hallmark movie veteran Martin Wood.
Here’s the synopsis:
Chasing a promotion, congressional aide Erica Miller forgoes family Christmas to travel across the Pacific at her boss’s behest. Upon landing at a beachside Air Force base, she clashes with her guide, Captain Andrew Jantz, who knows her assignment is finding reasons to defund the facility. The pilot's pet project — Operation: Christmas Drop, a genuine, decades-old tradition where gifts and supplies are parachuted to residents of remote neighboring islands — has lawmakers wondering if his unit has too much spare energy. Despite their initial opposing goals, Erica softens once she experiences the customs and communal spirit of Andrew's adopted home.
These cheesy Netflix Christmas movies always seem just a step above the ones you see made for TV, production value-wise, but are just as predictable and sappy. I am not a fan of this specific TV movie genre, but I know they have a huge audience. And maybe more this year, as predictability has become a little more comforting after the year we’ve had!
Check out the trailer below, and watch Operation Christmas Drop on Netflix on November 5th.
