Added DiffLines:

* BaitAndSwitch: The trailers initially present Ro's dilemma as her typically getting sick of Christmas after repeating it for weeks, if not months. What actually causes her to grow sick of the loop and of Christmas is [[spoiler:the discovery her dad's marrying his girlfriend, and her parents are never getting back together.]]


Added DiffLines:

* DivorceIsTemporary: Defied. Ro wants to invoke this trope by exploiting the loop to get her parents back together. [[spoiler:She crosses the DespairEventHorizon when she learns her dad's planning to marry his girlfriend.]]

* ChristmasEveryDay: As mentioned above and below, Ro wishes to celebrate Christmas again and ends up in a loop of the exact same one. Unlike most example of this trope, it's not the holiday itself that wears Ro out, it's [[spoiler:finding out her dad's marrying his girlfriend which shatters her belief in Christmas.]]


Added DiffLines:

* TheGadfly: Ro messes with her family by asking them random questions in one loop, then in next she pretends to be psychic by rattling off things they never told her and stuff they were currently thinking.

* AmicablyDivorced: Ro's parents, much to her displeasure. Her mom and dad have been divorced for a while, but they're both capable of spending the holidays together to the point her dad even brought along his girlfriend and her son.




to:

* SpoiledBrat: Ro's behavior during the first Christmas has shades of this, as she pitches hissy fit after hissy fit because things aren't going like she expected until she finally screams at everyone that ''they'' ruined Christmas.
* TrailersAlwaysLie: The Disney Channel commercials for the movie feature Ro telling her family she doesn't believe in Christmas anymore, followed by Santa granting her wish for a do over. [[spoiler:The specific scene of Ro announcing her lack of faith in the holiday happens halfway in and long after she starts repeating Christmas, and thus is not the reason why Santa grants her wish to keep repeating the same day.]]
