Jack Wisniewski

Jack Wisniewski pops up in “That Christmas” (2024) and honestly, it’s the kind of holiday film that doesn’t just slide by, it sticks. Set in a small, snow-blanketed town that’s straight out of a greeting card, the movie spins around a bunch of quirky locals who are all tangled up in their own chaos as the big day crawls closer. You’ve got the single dad who’s convinced he’ll mess up Christmas dinner again, the nosy neighbor with a soft spot for romance novels, and, of course, the kid determined to trap Santa on camera—because why not? Jack’s character? He’s the guy who keeps the town’s slightly run-down bakery running even though his gingerbread men look like they survived a tornado. He’s juggling a mountain of family stuff and a secret that could totally turn his world upside down if it gets out. There’s this warmth to him—like, he’s the dude who remembers your coffee order and asks about your dog, even when he’s clearly running on two hours of sleep and pure stubbornness. The story itself weaves together all these different lives, tossing in a few curveballs (holiday mishaps, surprise reunions, and a blizzard because, obviously). At the heart of it, “That Christmas” is really about finding connection when everything else feels uncertain. It’s messy, funny, and sometimes just plain heartfelt. Honestly, by the end, you’re left rooting for this bunch of weirdos, hoping they pull off the kind of Christmas that’s imperfect, but real.
