Netflix viewers in stitches at huge 'mistake' in new Christmas movie that 'they thought nobody would notice'

Viewers have been left in stitches after noticing a continuity error in a new Christmas movie which has just landed on Netflix.

With 25 December now just over a week away, streamers are in full swing when it comes to putting out their latest Christmas and 'Christmas-adjacent' offerings.

One of these is Carry-On - currently number one on today's 'Most Watched' films list - an action thriller which sees a deadly nerve agent threatened to be unleashed on a packed Christmas Eve plane.

Watch the trailer below:

Starring Taron Egerton, Jason Bateman, Sofia Carson and Danielle Deadwyler, Carry-On follows the story of unmotivated TSA officer Ethan (Egerton) who finds himself blackmailed by a mysterious traveller (Bateman) looking to smuggle nerve agent novichok onboard a busy flight to New York.

The action-packed film is, of course, very Die Hard inspired as Ethan works to save the passengers from a painful death while not arousing suspicion from the the Traveler, however, the film is currently attracting attention due to a seemingly unfortunate continuity error.

Sharing the moment on TikTok was user @FloridaFitBrit, who recorded her husband's reaction to the moment before sharing it online.

In the clip, the couple have paused the film at a specific moment which shows a woman walking through security with her son.

"What have we found?" the user says, before her husband points out the child's light brown hair and distinctive reindeer jumper.

However just seconds later the same woman and child appear on the screen one again - however the child is now completely hairless.

"Look at that balda** baby, that's a different baby," he adds, before switching back and forth between the two clips several times.

"That child's confused because they weren't in the last scene," he jokes. "He doesn't even know where the movie's heading."

The moment left several viewers tickled, with one person commenting: "I'm cracking up. Cause I didn't notice it either," while a second person joked: "Their continuity persons was asleep on the job."

"For someone who’s so observant , how did i miss this when i watched the movie," a third person added.

A fourth said: "Enjoyed this and never even noticed."

Despite the baby mix-up - which isn't the worst continuity fail in the history of film and TV - the user gave an overall positive review of Carry-On, adding in the caption: "We recommend watching Netflix’s new film Carry-On.

"Very enjoyable especially, if like me, you know that Die Hard IS a Christmas film. Imo its got some serious 90s vibes!!!"

Let this be a reminder to filmmakers that viewers are able to see everything in the age of streaming.
