A jaded, stressed out woman wants a break from all the festivities and obligations of Christmas. In a moment of fury, she wishes for it to all just go away. The next morning, she wakes up to find that all the Christmas decorations in town are gone, and nobody except her has any memory of the holiday. She then scrambles to revive Christmas.
It's a funny idea -- having the protagonist reintroduce Christmas to her family and to the town, and they point out how absurd the holiday traditions sound.
The male love interest is very likable in this movie. And the actor playing jolly old Saint Nick did an excellent job.

"Rescuing Christmas" is the kind of movie that you watch with a mug of hot chocolate and zero expectations. It's a classic Hallmark-style holiday film that doesn't reinvent the sleigh but offers a cozy, predictable ride. The plot is as fluffy as freshly fallen snow - Santa wanting to boost holiday spirit is heartwarming, and the choice of Erin, a Christmas grinch, as the recipient of three wishes is a neat twist. The elves, Chuck and Debbie, are delightfully quirky, adding a sprinkle of elfish charm to the story.
The film's strength lies in its simplicity. It's a feel-good, easy-watch movie that doesn't demand much from its audience. Erin's journey from a Scrooge-like character to someone who embraces the holiday spirit is predictable, yet satisfying. The chemistry between Erin and Sam, the charming love interest, is sweet, albeit a tad cliché. It's the kind of film where you know exactly what you're going to get, and that's not necessarily a bad thing.
However, there's a surprising edge to this G-rated holiday fare - a rogue "damn" that slips through. It's a blink-and-you-miss-it moment, but it's amusing to think how this little slip-up got past the censors. It doesn't detract from the film's family-friendly vibe, but it does raise an eyebrow. Overall, "Rescuing Christmas" is like a well-worn Christmas sweater - familiar, comfortable, and just right for a lazy December evening. Just don't expect it to be the star on top of your holiday movie marathon.

Wanted to love it, but the cast didn't grab, hold my attention. I found myself doing other tasks while checking back in periodically. Sam Page is a good anchor, but felt monotonic in this particular offering. Rachel Leigh Cook appeared a bit off, perhaps being executive producer took away from her usual shine. The ending seemed to be a bit of cut ins pasted together to wrap up the ends. The elves were annoying which in an odd way brought some sort of emotion. The optics of a non White Santa was irksome. Non White, female, Christmas overlord was bothersome. In fact, a good reason to downgrade further.
Shocked! A film not solely in Canada,pretending to be another place..
Just for that will give this positive stars,especially because it was Duluth.
Now on to the rest where it was a bit dumb so she wishes away Christmas & instead of enjoying it but coming to realize,the mistake therefore figuring out how to return things back.. She goes from wishing,waking to the change & trying to get back what not even 24 hours later bothered her.
Considering the whole story plot it felt a bit hypocritical for her statement,about skipping Christmas next year & going to Hawaii.. Because again she is caught in her own feelings over things not going accordingly,as the movie is nearing being over.
RLK acting is a bit bland maybe,it's her voice or something.. Otherwise it was cast ok,acting average & cinematography decent.
Thankfully music didn't overwhelm the talking,like in past Hallmark movies.
Full of clichés,plotholes & a storyline been done before.. Again,it's Hallmark!
Overall worth a watch but,not a rewatch like other Christmas movies.

Omg. So...I LOVED this movie! It's so hard when it's a great story, but an actor-or many- just kind of aren't into it and are just not right for the role/s. I'm a Hallmark movie connoisseur due to being on the spectrum, and I appreciate predictable plots...however this was a pleasantly surprising Xmas movie and everything was PERFECT! Loved the original plot, the great acting and writing... the flow, editing? This is a well-rounded holiday movie that I plan to watch every Xmas. But seriously... I watch Xmas movies all year round, so... this movie just bought my hallmark subscription for the next year. Thanks to all who made it- keep making magic please! ✨
