Netflix explain: "Set in the gloriously vibrant town of Cobbleton, the film follows legendary toymaker Jeronicus Jangle (Academy Award winner Forest Whitaker) whose fanciful inventions burst with whimsy and wonder.
"But when his trusted apprentice (Emmy winner Keegan-Michael Key) steals his most prized creation, it's up to his equally bright and inventive granddaughter (newcomer Madalen Mills) - and a long-forgotten invention - to heal old wounds and reawaken the magic within."
Of course, it is a Christmas film, which means there'll be plenty of music, mystical adventures and cheer along the way!
The cast also includes Phylicia Rashad, Anika Noni Rose, Hugh Bonneville and Ricky Martin and as it's a musical, we can guarantee you'll have the catchy tunes stuck in your head all day.
It features tracks by stars including John Legend, Usher and Ricky Martin.
And viewers who have already tuned in to the film are obsessed, with many calling it their "new favourite Christmas movie".
