If Freeform made a Christmas slasher, this would be it. Usually I'd say ABC Family, but it's incredibly inclusive, which nudges it more on the Freeform side.
Super cheesy, especially the dialogue, but kind of a fun and easy watch.
It's a Wonderful Knife
This Christmas, your wishes will come true... and your nightmares too.

Winnie's life is less than wonderful one year after saving her town from a psychotic killer on Christmas Eve. When she wishes she was never born, she finds herself magically transported to a nightmarish parallel universe. With the murderous maniac now back, she must team up with a misfit to identify the culprit and get back to her own reality.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A darkly playful riff on *It's a Wonderful Life* that swaps earnest redemption for slasher chaos and queer friendship. It's a film that winks at its own absurdity while genuinely caring about its characters.
