If you're tired of the same old Christmas movie reruns, a new and delightfully chaotic festive flick starring the Jonas Brothers might be the perfect remedy. 'A Very Jonas Christmas Movie' has landed on Disney+, offering a fresh dose of holiday humour, music, and brotherly drama.
A Festive Plot Full of Chaos and Curses
The film follows the famous sibling trio – Kevin, Joe, and Nick Jonas – as they wrap up a European tour in London, desperate to get home to their families for Christmas. However, tensions within the band over their future direction threaten to derail their plans. Enter Santa Claus, who, as a massive fan, places a curse on the brothers to prevent a break-up.
This magical intervention means the Jonases must resolve their differences before they can return to the United States. Their journey home becomes a series of hilarious transport disasters, all orchestrated by Santa's mischievous curse. Adding to the festive mix, a chance encounter rekindles an old romance for one of the brothers.
Critical and Audience Acclaim
Since its release in November 2025, the film has garnered positive reviews. It holds an impressive 85% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes, with audiences rating it at 71%. Critics have praised its infectious energy and musical elements.
Adam Graham of the Detroit News called it a 'festive treat', while Shelby Elpers of Fangirlish noted it offers more than just fun for long-time fans. Polly Conway from Common Sense Media summed it up as a 'holiday blast of nostalgic musical chaos'.
Viewers on social media have echoed this sentiment, with many expressing surprise at how much they enjoyed the film. One user praised its incorporation of the brothers' real-life personas, and another simply stated they 'laughed the whole time'.
A Personal Project for a New Life Stage
The project holds special significance for the Jonas Brothers, who conceived it as a gift for their children. In an interview with Extra, Nick Jonas explained their motivation, highlighting their desire to create something with lasting legacy.
'Christmas movies live on in perpetuity forever, and that was something we were really excited about,' he said. The brothers, now fathers and two decades into their career, wanted to make something their families could be proud of for years to come.
Kevin Jonas also reflected on the unique experience of filming versus touring, joking about the earlier call times and leaning on his brothers' greater acting experience from projects like 'Camp Rock' and the series 'Jonas'.
Featuring cameos from stars like Will Ferrell, Chloe Bennet, and Laverne Cox, 'A Very Jonas Christmas Movie' is now available to stream exclusively on Disney+, offering a perfect slice of modern, music-filled holiday cheer.
