This is not a secret santa within a group of friends, it's a good samaritan who feels like doing good for the people of his city. Kevin McGarry plays the charming Colin, the head of a company who is doing this random acts of Christmas. Erin Cahill plays the journalist who follows this story. Colin, who introduced himself as Cole to Sydney, passes as a journalist who is following this story as well. Together, they "chase" these acts.
It was amazing. I really enjoyed it. It's different than the movies Hallmark offers. Kevin McGarry was the reason I watched this (blame When Calls the heart) and instead I finish this movie with a huge smile. The leads were amazing, great chemistry, and beautiful moments as well.
My only complain was the final act, which was kind of ridicolous, and the overexcited child. I get it, it's Christmas, but he was excited about EVERYTHING.
I'm worried about some of the comments in this section, you won't find an Oscar worthy movie or Oscar worthy actors. Just sit, and enjoy this during that magical time of year. I'm watching this during quarantine in April and I just wished I had watch this when it premiered like 5 months ago. It definitely would have gotten me in the Christmas mood. Might watch again someday.
