In 1843 London, author Charles Dickens finds himself in financial trouble after writing three unsuccessful novels in a row. Desperate for a hit, Dickens relies on real-life inspiration and his vivid imagination to bring Ebenezer Scrooge, Tiny Tim and other classic characters to life in A Christmas Carol, forever changing the holiday season into the celebration known today.
Warm.
"The Man Who Invented Christmas, however, is a festive treat, in no small part because it's not about Christmas. It's about one of the most famous authors we know and how he overcame the writer's block equivalent of Santa being stuck in the chimney."
—Stephen Romei, The Australian
