Synopsis

An Avonlea Christmas centers on Hetty King, the strong-willed and occasionally difficult matriarch of the King family. When she collapses during the holiday season and is hospitalized, she feels homesick and isolated, prompting her to reflect on her relationships and life achievements. Set during World War I, the story follows the King family as they prepare for their traditional Christmas dinner. The gathering is overshadowed by the absence of Felix, one of the family's youngest members, who is missing in action, highlighting differing views on the war. The film features a talented cast in an uplifting drama that explores the fragility of life and the strength of family during difficult times. (from DVD liner notes)

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 17

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
