A Kindhearted Christmas

A lovelt film with the real spirit of Christmas feeling. It's nothing mind-blowing, just a warm, feel good easy to watch film for a cosy evening.

Was also good to see Garth again, she's actually looking more beautiful than her younger years and the rest of the cast are great.

However...Christmas crackers are to be pulled with someone else, it's part of the fun. And traditionally, whoever gets the large part keeps the gift inside..although usually you make it fair and give any extra you win to someone else.

So put your feet up, get a cup of your favourite hot beverage and enjoy. Merry Christmas to all a good night.

It was good. Jennie Garth was great. Cameron is always good but they had chemistry. I will watch again this year but will definitely rewatch. Gac needs more of this duo as they finally had one that worked.

Let me start by saying it's hard for me not to love any movie starring Cameron Mathison so I'm a little biased. He always plays such a kind, genuine, caring, person, in all his movies.

I enjoyed the premise about an anonymous person giving help and kindness to those in need. Another reviewer said "This plot has been done sooo many times" and this person thought it was boring. I felt the opposite! I haven't seen many movies with this plot on GAC, Hallmark, or Lifetime. I've watched over 500 Hallmark movies. There are few here and there with the "Secret Santa" premise but not to many. Maybe I've missed them somehow. A movie by Lifetime called, A Christmas Angel, was a great movie about a "secret Santa" and I highly recommend it! Don't confuse it with the Hallmark movie and Angel for Christmas. Both great movies.

My only issue was Jennie Garth's character. Could she eke out a smile? Her character did not exude kindness and empathy at all. She never looked Mathison in the eye or responded with a smile when he complimented her.

The widowed Jamie is inspired by her niece's comment about needing her late husband around town for Christmas. So she takes it upon herself to be a secret Santa and help those in need around her hometown coopersville. This attracts the attention of the morning news show and tv celebrity Scott, who goes from interviewing her randomly to dating her. While Scott is trying to solve the secret Santa mystery, Jamie as secret Santa is inspiring others to give to those less fortunate...helping out their neighbors.

This was a sweet story and I love Cameron Matthison, he and Jenny Garth looked great together...of course he compliments everyone he is with.

Not a lot of family in this offering, but it really plays up the gift of giving.

Such a sweet story. A Samaritan from little town Cooperville acts as a secret Santa to help the needy and put a huge smile on their faces. This inspires the town to give back to the community.

A great movie and Scott - the reporter was absolutely charming as the tv host, and the lonely traveller who runs away to wander the world during Christmas time.

Jamie is the reason this movie gets only 6 stars. Her dialogs are good, but her eyes and expressions are all wrong. She comes off as a stalker or psychopath with those expressions. I almost thought this was going to turn into a thriller who would torture Scott after kidnapping him.

A great movie let down due to weird expressions.
