I thought this would be a fun little Christmas mystery but nope. The plot was all over the place. Half the time I wasn't sure which character was being focused on. And the overall motive literally didn't even make sense to the point where there needed to be an epilogue that literally explained how a random character that wasn't mentioned until the end was the culprit. Also, this was pretty heavy on the 'stoners are bad people' trope and I definitely do not agree with that idea.
