I think it was the fact they were able to keep 90% of the original cast. that really sold it for me seeing those kids all grown up. it's a shame they couldn't get the mom to come back though

now it's a Christmastime staple. and the sequel was way better than I was expecting. usually when it's something comes out that long after the original it's trash. I was pleasantly surprised.
