Your writers and producer (Netflix) care more about the social justice message than a good story. This has nothing to do with the first one, which had adventure, comedy and a strong message about believing, and tradition. In this one the predictable plot about and elf gone rogue is supposed to be the center of the story, but also the cliched rebel teen girl, and the cowardly kid that finds the inner courage he always had. It is very hard to balance all plot points so the movie tumbles as a result. Then add on top that Santa's village should be renamed Mrs Santa's village, all the deers are now female (with male horns, mind you, maybe they are trans) and the little actor representing the black community is terrible and you'll see why the bad reviews. Oh, and don't justify it with "it's a kid's movie" because kids are intelligent, and we adults are really tired of forced social justice message, we just want a good Christmas movie that isn't about romance.

This is what you get when...
For kids only.
The thing with Christmas Day is that my wife absolutely wants to watch a Christmas movie. I remember watching the first Christmas Chronicle and it was passable. This sequel on the other hand is much too cheesy for adults to watch. I'm 53 by the way, so 45 years too old to be able to enjoy this kind of movies. But I get it that kids will like this movie, it's well made and it's magical for kids. But I'm not a kid anymore, so watching Darby Kamp and Jahzir Bruno during almost two hours is just too much for me. Those two kids are cringing to watch, I almost had to get my vomit bucket, it was that bad. So in résumé, if you want your offspring to shut up for a couple hours then this is the right movie to do so, but other than that I don't see the point of watching this as a normal adult.
The magic is hindered by lazy writing and a weak villain
I like the first movie, but The Christmas Chronicles 2 seems like a slapped-together sequel. The writing is lazy and tries to cram in as much exposition as possible in every line to hurry the muddled story along. The characters don't talk or react like normal people would. The villain is also very weak. I'm not quite sure why they cast Julian Dennison as Belsnickel. There is some magic in The Christmas Chronicles 2, but I expected more from Chris Columbus.
