On the 12th Date of Christmas

I'm glad to see a bit more creativity put into at least a few of the 2020 Hallmark Christmas movies. Typically the same plot is used over and over. But this one is unique and much better than average.

The plot involves two people who work for a game company who are put on a tight-deadline project to create a game for a new hotel in Chicago. They end up putting together a "12 days of Christmas" scavenger hunt that incorporates historic Chicago landmarks and neighborhoods. There were some clever poems/riddles as part of the game, and you get basically a travelogue of Chicago too. The leads were also both appealing and there was genuine chemistry with a nice romance arc.

This one deserves to go on regular rotation on your watch list.

The lead actors in this movie have good chemistry. The pace of the movie is good and I enjoyed the story line. I had not seen Mallory Jansen in any other movies but enjoyed her acting, not overacting and not goofy. This movie is definitely worth the watch.

It was a fun, romantic movie. I loved how they went around the 12 days of Christmas and wrapped everything around each part of the song. It was entertaining, feel good. Different idea from what I've seen from Hallmark. Great movie

Jennifer and Aidan work for a company that organizes scavangers hunts (i'm sure that's not a real thing) and they are paired up to prepare one for a famous Hotel.

When I first read the plot I thought it made no sense, so obviously I had to watch it. But I was pleasantly surprised. The plot was what I liked the most about this. There are no surprise twists, no "pre-ending" problem, just a misunderstanding from our main lady. Speaking of, I liked Mallory as a lead, i'm open to the idea of seeing more of her. Now Tyler Hines is another thing... he is not a favorite of mine but he was just ok. Good chemistry between the leads (I felt I was interrumpting during that final scene).

I don't think I will watch this again, but I quite enjoy it. The story was enjoyable. As another reviewer said, I would have loved to see more banter between the leads and to see Aidan cheer up more (but I think that's how Tyler plays his characters).

I want to create scavenger hunts around cities- sounds fun! This movie is current, even for a Gen-Xer like me. The acting/directing at the beginning was a little uncomfortable as the actors were acting or directed to act in very stereotypical ways - the grumpy work alone guy and the friendly insecure woman. It got better pretty quickly.
