- TriviaIn the scene on Christmas Eve when Matt is looking at the photos of his late wife, they're actually photos of the actor and his real wife.
- ErroresMila tells Izzi, "Your holiday themed book was supposed to be available for the holidays," referring to the reason she won't allow the final draft deadline past Christmas Eve. Even though the book is for next Christmas, that statement makes no sense in a pure rationale perspective of not having some flexibility in the deadline.

Bob: Izzi. What do I owe the pleasure again?
Izzi Simmons: I just have a quick question.
Bob: Let me guess. You saw the remodeled aesthetics.
Izzi Simmons: About that. Um, my floors... I mean, your floors, technically, they used to have a distinct squeak. But the thing is, now the squeak is gone and there's a carpet over the floorboards.
Bob: I'm sensing you don't like the carpet.
Izzi Simmons: Was this your idea?
Bob: No, it was, uh, his. Meet the new owner of the B&B, my son. He just moved back from Seattle.
Izzi Simmons: Desmond?
Matt: Uh, actually, no. It's uh... It's Matt.
Izzi Simmons: Matt?
Matt: Yup. Matt.
Izzi Simmons: Your name is Matt?
Matt: Yeah. Like, short for Matthew.
Izzi Simmons: You look exactly like... You know what, um, never mind. This is, this is so... This is something, this is confusing and confounding and a little bit exciting.
Matt: Uh, okay. Well, to answer your question, uh, you're not hearing that squeak cause I fixed the floorboards. It's actually very simple, you just sprinkle a little baby powder over the squeaky floorboard, work it in the seams. Lubricates the wood, keeps the boards from rubbing together.
Izzi Simmons: Neat. That's, like, so neat.
Matt: Yea, well. I realized it's only a temporary solution. So, uh, we went carpeted.
Izzi Simmons: No, you went carpeted. We went squeaky floors, right, Bob?
Bob: Oh, I'm going Switzerland on this one.
Matt: Are you?
Izzi Simmons: I'm gonna go out of this room. Um, I have to leave, um, my editor is calling and I have to take this in my room.
Matt: Your phone didn't ring or buzz.
Izzi Simmons: Um, I meant, I have to call her. You know how editors are.
Matt: No. Not really. How are they?
Izzi Simmons: They need to be called back.
Matt: Well, you better call her back then.
Izzi Simmons: That's what I'm gonna do. Bye!

'Christmas Ever After' turned out to be very nicely done. Is one of the better ones and has one particularly big surprise that was not expected at all. Is it a great film? No, none of the 2020 Lifetime Christmas films are though in all fairness. Is it worth watching? Absolutely yes (as is enough of this particular batch), and one of the recently seen Christmas films that surprised me a lot. While not everything in 'Christmas Ever After' works, a lot does and very well indeed.
Am going to start with what could have been better. The plot is nothing special formula-wise and in terms of how it maps out. It's another film that is a bit of a slow starter, where it takes time to set up and the dialogue is on the awkward side.
Do agree that Bill Marchant is too over the top in his role and came over as annoying. The ending felt too hasty.
However, a lot is good. Ali Stroker's performance was courageous and heartfelt, as well as easy to endear to. Daniel Di Tomasso matches her in charm and his gentle warmth and sincerity help him come over as very likeable. Their chemistry is beautifully done, tasteful and sympathetic with no judgement and they are very natural together. Melia Charlotte Cressaty is adorable without being too cute. Lifetime have always varied when it comes to having characters that are interesting and worth caring for, 'Christmas Ever After' is a case of both.
Visually, the film is professional looking rather than looking on the cheap, the scenery is lovely. The music is not used too much and has an appropriate sound. The direction shows somebody at ease with the genre and while there is nothing innovative it's not routine or dull either. Furthermore, a great job is done with the Christmas atmosphere, where it does feel like Christmas and in an affectionate way. Some lovely Christmas touches, especially in the second half, and there are some very sweet, but not sickly, scenes. The script did have a nice mix of funny and poignant lines, especially the banter between the leads. The story may be thin but has a warm heart and charm and doesn't take itself too seriously. While the first quarter is not easy to get into at first, a vast majority of the second half is great.
Overall, well done. 7/10.
