Santa has amnesia - but this is one you won't forget.
Lucie Guest was always a witty, engaging comic actress with immaculate timing, and she brings the same deft precision to her role as director of this outrageously premised script. There's a visual playfulness which matches the wacky script (loved the idea of the shy Santa with a puppet! Which i think i may steal for a Christmas themed storytelling myself!)) Paul Campbell acting as a not very good actor who loses out to Andrew Walker is another highlight . Benjamin Ayres, reliable as ever, somehow makes the nonsense emotionally credible and enjoys good chemistry with his love interest, which he does whether he's in Vermont, Cherry Lane or North Star. Definitely one of the best Hsllmark movies for 2024.
