This felt like a Christmas movie not just a Hallmark Christmas movie. Real good. Terry O'Quinn unreal as usual. Feel good movie. Make sure to catch this one in 2021 holiday season. 8/10 from me. Loved the atmosphere too!
Emma Oliver and Terry O'Quinn. They are the pillars of this real nice film about lost, old love story becoming a new one, a boat and Christmas. And, sure, a contest.
Not remarkable but charming crafted, explaining the loneliness after deuil period, the motherhood in energetic style, the friendship and the kicks to risk for help the loved one.
So, a sort of different Hallmark. And the same destination with few ways little different.
The good point - gentle, maybe superficial but not in bad sense, of delicate realities from every day, from many lives. And this recipes , sensitive, touching, with few drops of wisdom just works. This is the virtue of this clever portrait of a grandfather and his grandaughter colaboration.

I thought this was one of the better Countdown to Christmas movies in recent years. The acting all around is good, including the scene-stealing kid. The plot was okay (not sure they really needed the sailing prize aspect of it; in fact story would have been better without it). One of these days Hallmark will let its characters do a full kiss instead of one of those where they plaster their lips together and try not to move. But an entertaining watch with a real emotional scene at the end. Well worth the effort.
I Thought it to be a very entertaining movie and really enjoyed seeing Katee Sackhoff from the LONGMIRE series again, Yes I will recommend it. James Welch Henderson, Arkansas 11/10/2021.
Cute movie but I've seen better from Hallmark clearly the other boats in the parade were prettier and the movie had wrong lead actors. I agree Hallmark has lost it's Christmas stuff.
