Time for Us to Come Home for Christmas

I absolutely love this tear-jerker holiday movie. It's a celebration of love, family, friends, and the spirit of the holidays. The acting is phenomenal - Leon and Lacey Chabert give stellar performances. There is a real tangible emotion to their characters. Vienna Leacock plays a teen going through the difficulties of parent's divorcing and her growth as a character is heartwarming. Lini Evans plays the sweet and lovable Karen. The mystery reveal is so touching. Overall, this movie was fantastic and I continue to watch it over and over.

This is and interesting and fun little story although it seems like it may have been written in a hurry or unfinished. It's a Christmas buffet of (sometimes eye-rolling) connections and coincidences where the Characters are mysteriously brought together for Christmas at a cozy little Inn. The acting by Chabert and Huszar, along with a strong cast, still manage to make the movie enjoyable to watch

Lacey Chabert is great. She does so great in these movies and I love watching them during the holidays. The lead actor was great too. I really enjoyed the story, but the ending didn't quite hit like it should've. I really enjoyed the chemistry between the two leads which saved this movie. I was rooting for all the characters. The supporting cast was enjoyable as well.

Although this movie is very slow paced, Lacey Chabert helps keep it interesting and worth watching. She plays Sarah, a lawyer who lost her mother a few months prior. She takes time off from her job in order to take care of her mom's affairs, including her open litigation cases. Sarah receives a gift reservation at an inn and assumes it was sent by her law firm. Once she arrives, she later finds out that no one knows who sent the invitation. And there end up being several other guests who received the exact same invite. With the help of the inn's owner, Ben, Sarah tries to figure out the mystery of who brought them all together. The connection they end up having is heartwarming. I enjoyed watching this one. It brought a smile to my face and warm fuzzies to my heart.

A mystery that isn't so easily discovered or explained until the happy ending that takes place at the Snowfall Inn. Five (5) guests all get a free Christmas vacation under somewhat false pretenses at a cozy place called the Snowfall Inn, A young lawyer named Sarah Thomas (Lacey Chabert) who takes it upon herself to wrap up some still opened cases that were the responsibility of her late mom, is one of the five (5) invited guests and she just can't help herself to try and figure out who is their mysterious benefactor who paid for their rooms.

A special treat for Mrs. Shullivan and I was one of the five (5) invited guests is the fantastic R&B singer and actor Leon. He has such a distinct and memorable voice that the movie is well worth watching just to hear him sing even one Christmas song.

It wouldn't be a Hallmark Christmas film if there was not a romance blossoming and so the producers wanted a guarantee so of course they signed the Queen of hallmark Christmas movies and that would be Lacey Chabert who has appeared in dozens of these similar movies over the past decade or so. Her love interest in this latest romance is the smooth talking and handsome actor Stephen Huszar who plays the Snowfall Inn's owner named Ben.

The five (5) guests backgrounds are gradually explained as to how they each received their free invitation to the Snowfall Inn and Ben agrees to assist the pretty young lawyer Sarah in deciphering who their Secret Santa is/was.

It's a nice little story with some heartwarming scenes and the mellow voice of R&B singer Leon is a huge bonus. I give it a 7 out of 10 IMDB rating.
