A Sweet Christmas Romance

A wonderful movie. The Light hearted and inspiring!

As a New Zealander who now lives in Australia and knows about pavlovas (long has the controversy gone on about just who invented it) I do hope Brad wasn't planning on serving up the one he made days before Christmas, on Christmas Day. Maybe a day after it was made it would be OK but not after several. It would have been a mushy mess by then. Might still taste almost OK but would not present well. This was a glaring mistake for me but all in all I enjoyed the movie, the acting and the storyline. Not a bad way to spend 90 minutes,

Notice no one ever wears gloves when taking cookies out of the oven? Not just in 'A Sweet Christmas Romance' but all the Christmas movies on Hallmark and Lifetime that are baking themed!

That aside, A Sweet Christmas Romance - starring Australia's Adelaide Kane and Greyston Holt - is set at a bakery in a small town in Maine. The original owner of said bakery is retiring and moving to Alaska, and there is uncertainty about whether it will be sold off or whether someone will take over running.

Enter Holly (Kane) a food stylist from New York City and Brad (Holt), a Florida refugee.

If you've seen even just one of these festive films, you don't need me to tell you that sparks fly between these two. Their chemistry is good, and the movie trundles along at a gentle pace, a slow burn romance between the two leads, with a handful of the usual tropes making an appearance.

Not the best Lifetime Christmas movie ever, but also far from the worst. An easy watch, and an enjoyable one.

I love a good holiday movie, but the acting was not great, and did no one else notice that the bakers, including the two leads, wore THE SAME CLOTHES for what was supposed to be like 5 separate days of the baking competition? The "judges" had fresh outfits, but the bakers didn't. It was so distracting.

I enjoy the sweet holiday movies, but the acting is just awful. Can you please improve on that. The lead actress is so boring and emotionless, it destroyed some of the cute scenes.
