The plot features an unlikely Santa Claus (played by Jesse Tyler Ferguson) who complicates their journey, forcing the brothers to confront their issues and remember what&#8217;s important. The story includes new music, cameos from their partners and family, and humorous, self-referential moments about their career.<\/p>\n<p>KIDS FIRST!

This film delivers a heartfelt message of the importance of family and how one\u2019s relationship with their loved ones impacts everything in life. Plus, it includes an amazing new lineup of Jonas Brother\u2019s songs!<\/p>\n<p>The film follows the Jonas Brothers (Nick Jonas, Joe Jonas, Kevin Jonas), who are wrapping up their World Tour in London. When Santa (Jessie Tyler Ferguson) works a little holiday magic, the brothers end up stuck in Europe. As they try to find a way to get home to their families, the brothers realize that their broken brotherly bond might be the real reason they\u2019re trapped. The story becomes a heartwarming and chaotic journey to reunite, filled with funny setbacks that can only be solved with love.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft  wp-image-2479\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/juror\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/AVJC.D-300x200.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"249\" height=\"166\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/juror\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/AVJC.D-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/juror\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/AVJC.D-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/juror\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/AVJC.D.jpeg 799w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 249px) 100vw, 249px\" \/>This is an inspiring film that families can enjoy with lots of great performances. One performance that stands out to me is from Jessie Tyler Ferguson, who plays Santa, the cause of the Jonas Brothers getting stuck in Europe. Ferguson uses his comedic timing to really nail the message of the movie in the most fun way. He balances quick comebacks with a sincere and warm memo to guide the brothers. Ferguson captures the magic that comes from Santa and adds a personal spin to the character. His performance not only draws attention to, but highlights the importance of family and brotherhood.<\/p>\n<p>Another person who catches my attention is Andrea Martin, as the lovable Uber driver, Deb, who assists the Jonas Brothers in getting home for the holidays.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2481 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/juror\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/AVJC.F-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"251\" height=\"167\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/juror\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/AVJC.F-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kidsfirst.org\/juror\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/AVJC.F.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 251px) 100vw, 251px\" \/>Martin mixes facial expressions with comedic timing to create the perfect character, who made me laugh out loud! Her joy and energy are infectious, and it is hard not to smile when she comes on screen. Martin easily becomes a fan favorite, adding the true Christmas spirit to the film.<\/p>\n<p>The film\u2019s message is that family matters most, and showing a little bit of love to one\u2019s family can usually patch past mistakes.<\/p>\n<p>I give <em>A Very Jonas Christmas<\/em> 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 8 to 18, plus adults. It can be found on Disney+ and Hulu beginning November 14, 2025.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"A Very Jonas Christmas Movie | Official Trailer | Disney+ and Hulu\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oOOdswIJJYU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three famous brothers race against time and face mounting challenges during a chaotic journey from London to New York, trying desperately to make it home in time for Christmas with their loved ones. <\/p>\n<p>KIDS FIRST!
