Nostalgic, without being hokey, not woke
Sequels are a really tough animal, especially for such an iconic film as A Christmas Story. I thought they did a really great job of bringing back some of the original humor while also telling a somewhat new story.
I have to admit that I was somewhat emotional at the end of the movie, which is what you want in a great Christmas movie.
Giving this 5/5 Overall, and I could not detect even a hint of wokeness. Just good wholesome holiday Christmas Story fun.

A Christmas Story Wokeless
Like a lot of people, I consider A Christmas Story (1983) a holiday classic. This proper sequel arrives almost four decades later and falls quite a bit short of "classic" status. Not enough laughs, uneven execution of story, and using forced nostalgia to rest on its laurels are my biggest complaints with this one. Additionally, it has a pretty heavy premise, so this film is not quite as lighthearted and innocent as the original. That said, A Christmas Story Christmas (2022) has some funny moments, a handful of charming performances, and ultimately a lot of heart. Most importantly, there's not a trace of wokeness. The film gets better as it progresses, and I would watch it again. I recommend it to anyone looking for a woke-free, family-friendly Christmas movie. Just don't pressure this one to live up to its predecessor. Add at least one point to my rating if nostalgia and callbacks alone carry you farther than they carry me.

Wonderful Reunion
I dislike sequels, and I especially hate reboots.. particularly in the current era. This movie would be a Direct to VHS release back in the day, but I’d consider it a good one. It’s more of a reunion than a movie. The acting is quite good, the story fair, the callbacks chuckle-worthy. Overall, it’s a heartwarming tale of nostalgia in the vein of The Hallmark Channel. If you liked the first movie, this won’t ruin that experience. It’s totally Woke-Free.
