It's tinsel and holly and "fa la la lolly" when Eloise lends her unique brand of holiday spirit to this made-for-television movie inspired by Kay Thompson's book of the same name. Sofia Vassilieva shines as ruckus-raising Eloise, who can simultaneously exasperate and exhilarate the genteel staff of New York's Plaza hotel. In the days before Christmas, Eloise learns that Rachel (Sara Topham), the daughter of Plaza owner Mr. Peabody, is returning after a long absence to marry mystery man Brooks Oliver. Eloise insists on helping with the Yuletide nuptials while plotting a matchmaking scheme of her own--to find true love for her best pal Bill (Gavin Creel), a free-spirited hotel waiter. Meanwhile, Eloise keeps busy sprinkling holiday mirth on everyone, including her beloved Nanny, played "rawther" marvelously by Julie Andrews. Whereas Eloise at the Plaza portrays the precocious 6-year-old as mostly mischievous, this film showcases her compassionate side which, together with the strong ensemble cast, offers plenty of Christmas cheer. Watch for the sizzling chemistry and musical talents of Topham and Creel. (Ages 5 and older) --Lynn Gibson

 Finally!! May 9, 2008
Eliose at Christmas time is a wonderful movie. Sometimes the movies that are made from books, do not do justice to the whole story. This movie is just as endearing as the book! Its wholesome, funny, sweet, and there are lessons to be learned while watching it. All though Eliose lives an extraordinary life, and most kids watching will never know the comfort that she knows, there is alot about love to be learned in this story. It is a Christmas Story, But we watch all year round. Its that good! I hope that you enjoy it, I know that my family I do!!
 Adventurous little lady with a good story May 8, 2008
Eloise at Christmastime is a good tale with a adventurous, mischief seeking young lady at the center of it all. Julie Andrews is always a favorite and does a great job in this movie as the ever-patient nanny. Kids will like the high energy of the main character while adults may become exhausted by it all (much like Julie Andrews character). But happy endings and warm fuzzies are a hallmark of the Christmas season and this movie fits the bill.
We love this movie! January 15, 2008
My daughter and I absolutely love this movie. Eloise is a very cute little girl trying to help out, but always managing to cause some chaos. Julie Andrews role is exceptionally funny as well. A great holiday movie tradition, or one to watch any time of the year that you would like to see a lighthearted, feel good, leave you smiling movie.
Eliose at Christmastime January 12, 2008
This movie is so cute and funny. Little Eloise keeps your interest going thoughout the movie. She is curious and mischievous. Julie Andrews is wonderful as her character. It is a fun movie for all ages, boys and girls alike. We loved it and would reccommend it for everyone.

I know how "adorable" Sofia Vassilieva supposedly comes across--but the character of Eloise she portrays in this Yuletide-themed disaster is nothing short of a horrific, negative example for children everywhere.
She's pushy. She's snotty. She disregards Nanny's beautifully-accented orders at every turn. Little Eloise also mistakenly believes that since her father owns the Plaza, it's her birthright to interfere in the private lives of both staff and guests.
Now, clearly Disney transforms this nightmarish little Puck into an agent of Cupid and everything (as usual) turns out peachy keen for all involved.
Still, Eloise is a pint-sized terror. I was hoping someone would toss the midget, mouthy malcreant down one of the Plaza's many elevator shafts.
One of the less tiresome moments for the character is at the very end, when a mysterious, face-cannot-be-glimpsed female figure (decked out in a fabulous mink coat--props for the outerwear) grandly arrives. It's Eloise's mother. Who apparently only can stand being in the presence of her child two or three times of the year.
Do I feel that.
