Small Town Christmas

There are a number of Hallmark movies built around a "perfect for Christmas" small town, but this is one of the better ones. In part that's because the lead actors are decent and in part because of the interesting setup that brings the main characters together. Enjoyable, fun, and satisfying to watch.

This movie is pretty much what you'd expect given the title and the TV network, Hallmark Movies and Mysteries (although it fits Hallmark Channel better). A small town is the epitome of life and tradition is everything. Yet, despite the predictability, it was done pretty well and the characters are appealing. Kristoffer Polaha kept reminding me of other Christmas movies he has been in . He and Ashley Newbrough had chemistry and add the little girl to make it even better.

This is the best Hallmark Christmas movie I've seen this year, and maybe ever! (Which says a lot because I tend to watch these Christmas movies like it's my job!) Kristoffer Polaha is fantastic and charming and so natural. He and his leading lady have wonderful chemistry, and she's great and natural also.

I've never written a review for IMDb but felt so strongly about about this one, I just had to log on and tell others DON'T MISS THIS!

The storyline has plot devices that are typical to a Hallmark movie, yet they seem fresh here somehow. There are great supporting characters and all around solid acting. Very likable characters and development.

I've always enjoyed Kristoffer Polaha but this movie has raised him to the top of the Hallmark leading men, and put him in a league of his own (in my opinion).

I want a sequel!! (I really, really do!) And a trip to Springdale 😉 🎄

Good watch. Recommended. The leads have chemistry and the kid actor did a decent job too. Any criticism you may read about the setting or window dressing in this film is inconsequential in my view. It is all about the story and characters you are rooting for. On that basis, Small Town Christmas delivered!

I am a Hallmark consumer, and, despite the overall quality being too low and predictable lately, at least for me, I have to say this one had something different. Excellent leads, really great chemistry, well developed story and interesting twists. Go see for yourself, no spoilers. I like to think I understand something about movies and how they are done, and this one delivers some feelings. What can I say, I am an old fashioned young dude from the 90s and this reminded me of good ol comedies.
