Overview

As the Christmas holidays begin, a group of 10 war-obsessed kids have a wave of inspiration: What if they spend the next two weeks engaged in a simulated war, armed only with shields, wooden swords, snowballs, and a fierce sense of competition? With a bounty chest waiting for the winners, the two sides gradually grow in size, and the war grows in importance, taking over all aspects of their lives.

Viewing Notes

Second film in the Christmas Mind Melter Marathon and a total delight. Plays like an after school special in the best way as these kids divide into two factions to war against each other during the holiday break. Could easily live in the Severin Kids line tho not quite as dark until the end.
