Reviews

Delivery by Christmas has garnered mixed reviews from critics and audiences alike. On IMDb, it holds a modest rating of 5.6/10, reflecting varied opinions. Some reviewers praise the film's warm, festive atmosphere and the relatable portrayal of holiday familial dynamics. A review from Filmweb Poland highlighted Monika Frajczyk’s direction as "competent in crafting a charming holiday tale," although it pointed out that the storyline occasionally falls into predictable rom-com tropes. Rotten Tomatoes does not currently feature a critic score for the film, but audience feedback notes its appeal as a comforting seasonal watch rather than a groundbreaking cinematic experience. Common critiques focus on the pacing and lack of depth in character development, which some felt limited emotional engagement. Nevertheless, many viewers appreciate the film's humor and the performances, particularly in its depiction of everyday holiday chaos. Overall, Delivery by Christmas is recognized as an enjoyable, if somewhat conventional, addition to Christmas movie playlists.
