A Loud House Christmas (working title, The Loud House: A Very Loud Christmas!) is a live-action made-for-TV Christmas film based on the popular Nickelodeon animated series. It premiered on TV and on Paramount+ on November 26, 2021.

Premise
It's Christmas time, and Lincoln Loud is super excited. It's the one day of the year the entire Loud family comes together. However, this year, Lori, Luna, and Luan make their own Christmas plans. With three of the sisters on different holiday schedules, Lincoln's parents decide they should take a family trip to Miami with their remaining children. But Lincoln feels if they all miss the family's favorite traditions, the entire holiday will be ruined! With help from his best friend Clyde, Lincoln's got 24 hours to come up with the perfect plan, change his family's mind, and - you guessed it - save Christmas.

Why It Deserves To Have The Sharkodile Destroy Their House

 * 1) For starters, it seems Nickelodeon learned jack squat about what happened the last time they made a live action film of their cartoons (i.e The Fairy OddParents Movie trilogy) as almost none of the characters look like their animated counterparts. This is especially apparent on Lana and Lola, whose front teeth are colored black to make them look like the animated ones.
 * 2) Lincoln is more of a jerk here than he was in seasons 4 and 5 since he, desperate to spend time with his family despite them having plans, screws them over quite badly from tricking Luna into thinking Mick Swagger is coming to visit Royal Woods which ends up making Sam mad enough to outright break up with her, getting Luan fired from her comedy show at the retirement center, getting Leni fired from Reininger's by stealing Tanya the mannequin during her shift, denied Lola, Lynn Jr. and Lana a trip to Miami, getting Lori and Bobby stuck in the freezing night, he and Clyde creating a fake animal that ends up causing a lot of property damages at the Royal Woods mall and canceling the tree lighting ceremony.
 * 3) *Despite what he did, Lincoln gets away with it all and gets what he wants and his only punishment is 300 hours of community service.
 * 4) The voice actors don't even sound like the ones in the cartoon.
 * 5) Shameless product placement for Microsoft, Apple, Ikea and even Discord.
 * 6) False Advertising: For some reason, Geo (the Louds' pet hamster) is in the poster, despite not being in the actual film.
 * 7) *Speaking of poster, you can clearly see the resampling of the faces of Lincoln and Clyde.
 * 8) Lincoln and Clyde's apology was very bad.
 * 9) *Since Lincoln and Clyde destroyed the mall, they should've gotten coal for Christmas and they should've gotten arrested, but in the film, they actually don't.
 * 10) The scene where the family Loud slides on snow looks clearly fake and appears to be effortless.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Lynn Loud Sr's voice is great. Thanks to Brian Stepanek for reprising his role from the original show.
 * 2) * Same goes for Catherine Mulligan, thanks to Catherine Taber, who is also the voice of Lori on the animated series, for reprising her role.
 * 3) The theme tune is catchy.
 * 4) The song "Together, Forever" sung by Sophia Woodward was great.
 * 5) Some of the scenes are funny (depending on your view).
 * 6) The film, while awful, stays faithful to the original source.

Reception
A Loud House Christmas was met with many negative reviews by critics, but was well received by fans of the original Nickelodeon series. It has a 4.3/10 on IMDB, a 67% on Rotten Tomatoes and a 1.5/5 on Rate Your Music.

Trivia
