    loved the story

    It was a fun and warming christmas tale. Aimee is a knock-out and the family opened up to her quickly. Who wouldn't. The story took a twist and am not sure i would want to do business with that dna company. You have got to root for the lead actress.

    Very nicely done

    I had originally skipped over this one, but I caught up to it later. It was very good. It's nice to have a movie hilight the family aspect of Christmas, and I also appreciate the presence of the story of our Lord's birth. That's gone by the wayside in recent years.

    I noticed Tyler Hynes had a walk-through role in this, and Paul Walker (one of the stars of this movie) had a walk-through in Hynes' movie, An Unexpected Christmas. That was amusing.

    Aimee Teagarden is cute as a button, and I think her acting has improved in the last couple years.

    This is a nice, heartwarming Hallmark movie, in the tradition of nice, heartwarming Hallmark movies.

    Enjoy.

    A fascinating exploration of family.

    For someone so young, Aimee Teegarden has a lot of experience in television and film, so it didn't surprise me to see her succeed in this installment for Hallmark. She seems to specialize in characters that are placed in very unlikely situations that require a lot of emotions in need of reconciliation. The trailers pretty much give away the story, but it's an enjoyable ride, nevertheless, and one worth watching more than once. I think a successful Hallmark movie is one with characters worth caring about, and which makes the viewer feel better for having watched; everyone has an opinion that matters to them, but for me, this is a winner.

    Christmas spirit finds its way back at Hallmark.

    A fresh story and a loving family are the canvas for a charming Christmas picture. There may be some minor inconsistencies , sure, but the characters feel real, effortlessly nice and loving. Andrew Walker seems relaxed and warm , as in his best roles. The real magic, though, comes from Aimee Teegarden. The script is mostly about her character and she delivers. Like a previous reviewer, I loved her in "Once upon a Christmas miracle" of a few years back. She is again wonderfully convincing in portraying a sweet vulnerable young woman and provides the rich emotions a good Christmas story intends to offer. It is great to watch a movie that leaves you feeling good inside.

    Well, hot darn, Hallmark. This one got me

    I often put on Hallmark Christmas movies to get away from stress and real angst in the world. However, this well-acted movie provided real feelings and I actually cried- not cool, Hallmark! 😂 Very likable characters and a good storyline!

    AND I was so worried how it'll all was going to come out and thinking how much pressure was put on her and they made it a beautiful ending!!! Love!!!

    • Trivia
      While Tyler Hynes has appeared in a number of made-for-television romance movies similar to this one as the male lead, his appearance here is ostensibly a two-second walk-on as the waiter serving Vanessa and Kris their peppermint eggnog in their stop en route from New York City to Barrington.
    • Goofs
      Emilia's song was dubbed by a youth choir.
    • Quotes

      Kris: What were you like as a kid?

      Vanessa: Ah. I was pretty shy. Definitely not the kid to take a solo in a Christmas pageant.

      [Vanessa chuckles]

      Vanessa: What about you, Kris?

      Richard Hendricks: Oh. Kris was great. But he had a lot of energy, would never stop.

      [Kris chuckles]

      Richard Hendricks: But he had a good heart. And he was obsessed with baseball.

      Kris: Still am. Yeah, Richard took me to my first Yankees game when I was six. I'm a fan for life. Except my dad didn't like it very much. He was a Mets fan.

      Vanessa: I think I gotta side with your dad on this one.

      Richard Hendricks: No!

      Vanessa: Mets and Jets all the way. You gotta root for the underdogs.

      Richard Hendricks: Mets and Jets! Ohh...

      [Kris and Richard laugh]

      Pauline Hendricks: I knew... I knew I liked this girl.

      [everyone laughs]
