A Newport Christmas uses a time-travel fantasy to bridge the gap between 1905 and 2025. By focusing on a woman who rejects a predetermined social contract, the film successfully challenges historical gender roles. However, the film adheres to a conventional romantic genre and lacks explicit LGBTQ+ representation. Additionally, the racial diversity of the modern-day setting is not clearly defined, potentially limiting its scope. Ultimately, while the film offers a critique of historical hierarchies, it remains tied to traditional seasonal clichés and storytelling structures.
