Netflix’s animated holiday film That Christmas, directed by Simon Otto, brings together heartwarming storytelling and a festive soundtrack that amplifies its holiday charm. Based on the trilogy by Richard Curtis, the film is set in the picturesque coastal town of Wellington-on-Sea, where a blizzard threatens to disrupt Christmas. With Santa Claus (voiced by Brian Cox) and his loyal reindeer Dasher (Guz Khan) braving the storm, the film weaves multiple narratives of resilience, connection, and holiday spirit.
Beyond its engaging plot and stellar voice cast—including Fiona Shaw, Bill Nighy, and Jodie Whittaker—That Christmas boasts a diverse soundtrack that captures the holiday cheer, blending classic Christmas tunes, pop anthems, and an original track by Ed Sheeran. Here’s a breakdown of every song featured in the film.
