High-schooler Grover Beindorf and his younger sister Stacy decide that their parents, Janet and Ned, are acting childishly when they decide to divorce after 18 years of marriage, so they lock them up in the basement until they'll sort out their problems.
Editor's Verdict
❌NO
"The plot summary provided for 'House Arrest' (1996) centers entirely on a domestic conflict (parents divorcing) resolved by the children locking them in the basement. There is no mention of the Christmas season, themes, or iconography impacting the narrative whatsoever. Therefore, it does not meet the criteria for a Christmas movie."
