    This is a cute movie! Solid 8 Stars!

    I like it because it has got originality and a past famous singer 'Marie Osmond' in it. Some of it is corny, but it's a dreamy movie. Enjoy it at least once over the holiday season or whenever. You won't be disappointed.

    One of the best of the year

    This movie was a surprising delight. For starters, this is one of the more unusual stories. The leads are great together.. The movie is cute and funny and lively but has touching moments as well.

    This movie also has a lot of music, mostly Christmas songs, even in different styles, but mostly upbeat. Marie Osmond performs a couple great songs and the leads do some great renditions also.

    There is a beautiful montage toward the end that, intentionally or not, is a sort of tribute to the true meaning of Christmas.

    Even Lifetime has optimistic heartwarming endings.

    I have watched and reviewed literally several hundred Christmas movies and this is a definite must watch that will be watched over and over in years to come.

    This One Really Touched My Heart

    This is the first time in years a Christmas movie has truly moved me to tearing up and tightness in my chest. I went in thinking, ah well, time for yet another holiday road trip and was pleasantly surprised.

    Absolutely worth a watch. The male lead did a really great job. Gonna save this one on the DVR to watch with my daughter at Christmas.

    It doesn't have to be Casablanca to get a 10!

    I rate movies based on what I expect from them. For me, this was a 9 but I've given a number of Hallmark and Lifetime Xmas movies , even though it's far behind "White Christmas." There are a limited number of storylines for any inexpensive tv movie romance, that takes place at Xmas - so the rater who complained about the basic plot being overused. It is what it is.

    I liked this one, in particular, because of its plethora of great music, especially the jazz Xmas stuff. The leads were appealing, the story sweet but not schmaltzy. It didn't get a 10 from me because I didn't tear up, and Marla Sokoloff, whom I usually enjoy, was a little uneven.

    I'd buy the music if it were available.
