This is my 7th Hallmark Christmas movie of the 2020 season. Overall, it was a good movie, I thought. I am a fan of Ashley Williams Hallmark movies; she performs really well in such roles. Niall Matter is also another one of my Hallmark favourites. Individually, they were great here again. My biggest critique, however, was there was no real chemistry between the two. Thru-out the film, it felt like they were becoming 'good friends' as opposed to 'falling in love'. The only scene where I got a glimpse of the latter was in the final scene of the movie. It is a pity, as the script/dialogue between the two was at times really good, in the sense of them getting to know each other (e.g., when they decorated the Christmas tree together). There is plenty of Christmas cheer, and the movie provides that Christmas atmosphere, which I have grown to love about Hallmark films. Fans of Hallmark movies will not be disappointed; it is worth a watch.
I really enjoyed this movie.
It was sweet and had a nice feel good to it. Touched the heart.
The cast was great and I liked the main leads together.
Being ex military and spending time away, this touched my heart.

I'm a fan of both Ashley and Niall. They both bring credibility to any project they are in. However, lately Ashley has apparently heard or read once too often about her own famous megawatt smile. Some of her scenes have a definite "insert smile here" feel. This was well made and Hallmark pulled out their A-Game for two of their most popular stars. They put a little more work into the plot, this time. Not one of their cookie cutter jobs, although they couldn't resist the usual flirty snowball fight. However, truth be told, the story was a little boring, and Ashley's character was a little too sweet and good. Sometimes her behavior with grumpy-pants Niall was kind of cringeworthy. She just would not leave him alone. For me it did not rise past the slightly above average rating. Kudos for having her ex-husband and his wife make appearances and her daughter was very appealing. Oh, and I do like Brandon Zub. He needs more starring roles. Oh Oh. The search for the out of print book was true to life and exactly right. Loved that.
Went into this expecting a classic, silly Christmas movie (of which there are a ton), but I have been very pleasantly surprised.
I congratulate the movie makers and the actors for creating a movie that actually felt real. Everything line of the movies was like real, every day people talk, instead of the eye rolling lines you usually hear.
Good movie!

Good movie!
Feels artificial or she comes across,overly excited about everything.
Even in serious roles,it doesn't seem sincere.
Hallmark needs to rethink casting,for some movies..
Overuse of the same actors,locations or storyline gets boring.
Just a bit mixed over the review of this movie,didn't hate it but nothing special.
Have found myself watching Lifetime,more with their holiday selections.
