A Boy Called Christmas is a 2021 British Christmas fantasy film directed by Gil Kenan from a screenplay by Ol Parker and Kenan, based on Matt Haig's 2015 book of the same name. On Christmas Eve three children, whose mother has recently died, are left in the care of her Aunt Ruth, who tells them a Christmas tale. It is the story of 13-year-old Nikolas, who lives in the forest with his father Joel, a woodcutter. Nikolas often remembers the legend of Elfhelm, a magical place inhabited by elves. One night he spares a mouse that tries to steal food, names it Miika and tries to teach it to speak. When the King promises a reward to anyone who finds something that will bring hope to the kingdom, Joel joins a group of hunters searching for Elfhelm and leaves Nikolas with his selfish Aunt Carlotta. Then Nikolas finds a map that proves Elfhelm exists and sets off for the far North. Henry Lawfull, Toby Jones, Sally Hawkins, Kristen Wiig, Michiel Huisman and Zoe Colletti star, with Stephen Merchant, Jim Broadbent and Maggie Smith also in the cast. Netflix released the film internationally on 24 November 2021, and StudioCanal released it on 26 November in the United Kingdom, France, Germany and other countries.
