Christmas in Evergreen: Tidings of Joy

6/10 - nice installment in the Hallmark series with a knockout cast

It's got the small town who loves Christmas. It's got romance. It's got people who don't know what they want to do with their lives. And it's got an unusually high level of ethnic diversity (for Vermont!) This movie's best feature was the time capsule and everything that comes out of it. Worth a watch for this alone!!

Always enjoy the chemistry between Paul & Maggie, they seem to work well together. However the movie shifted focus between the leads and was directed at other characters in the community of Evergreen. On the surface that's not a bad thing, but you require interesting story lines support the screen time of these folks. My impression was this was a hallmark feel good moment to show case Hallmark cast members we have seen in past productions.

Although this is a generically enjoyable Christmas film, I think it helps if you have seen the two other 'Christmas In Evergreen' films that go before it as a lot of the characters and the situation have already been quite obviously established. They don't effect the storyline as such, but you might come away thinking "Huh? What was that all about when they did that/said that?"

I'm not sure I would put the two leads together, I didn't really believe their romance. I did however like the idea of a time capsule lost for decades, but the execution was a bit much.

I like this little town of Evergreen and I can see it making a good TV series, but it would have to be a bit extreme to be maintained for very long, with lots of other wacky ideas like the time capsule.

It will be interesting to see what the fourth instalment will have in store and whether Ryan and Zoe will ever be there to celebrate again?

Christmas In Evergreen: Tidings of Joy is such a breath of fresh air this holiday season! In my opinion, it's one of the best Christmas movies this year. From the very beginning, Paul and Maggie have great onscreen chemistry and immediately grabbed my attention. I'm such a fan of Paul Greene and his acting is at its best here! The town of Evergreen is celebrating their 50th Anniversary of their Christmas Festival. But this is more than just your typical movie about a festival, the whole town is working to uncover the lost Christmas time capsule. There were several stories that intertwined together throughout the film. Sometimes this can feel overwhelming in other movies but this worked well in here, I think this is a testament to the great writing. I truly was surprised by how much I like this movie, it's quite different and full of heartwarming surprises. There is such a spectacular cast all around! Paul and Maggie really do such an amazing job leading this movie and work so well with each other! I'd love to see them in more projects together! This film is so special and truly already a Christmas classic!
