    These 2!

    Yes, I like City of Trees so yes I loved this and these 2. I can do another 10 years of cute queer xmas trope films. Have a lot of catching up to do. This doesnt need to be more than it is. A cute feel good lesbian xmas movie. The fact that it is a queer film already lifts the dialogue for me over similar non queer stories and plus the chemistry of these 2 is so sweet! This feels a little heavier than Under the Christmas Tree and Christmas at the Ranch as it should but I can watch all 3 often. So happy this was made and always happy to be surprised with more queer holiday content. Keep it going!

    Aw

    Not a Christmas fan.

    Not a romance fan.

    A mixture of the two is usually enough for me to go sprinting into a new year.

    The mixture of the two genres is usually pretty cringe to me.

    Yet this one isn't.

    I love this movie though - I love Alexandra Swarens. Anything she puts her mind to, is golden. She is severely under rated as an actress, as a producer... multi talented woman.

    Alex and Olivia have amazing chemistry, in both this and City of Trees. Can't wait to see more from this duo in the neat future.

    Gives me hope... then a crashing realisation that Alexandra isn't in fact my wife. Live and dream.

    A Feel Good Holiday Flick

    A feel good holiday flick. Yes,the beginning does feel somewhat stretched but an enjoyable movie nonetheless. The chemistry between the leads are amazing. Cinematography is good and doesn't give off that low budget vibe that many independent movies have. This could easily have been an Hallmark holiday movie.

    Alexandra Swarens the writer, producer, editor, director and lead actor of this movie is a real gem. Her work is excellent, hopefully she continues to create content for a long time to come (and hopefully that content includes herself and Olivia ;-).

    PS. If you enjoy the movie, do consider donating to her future projects, details on Violet Wave Production's YouTube channel.

    So cute!

    The story doesn't go to great depths but it's so enjoyable to watch, it's worth the time!

    Both leads are equally interesting and for my surprise there's some very funny moments!

    I read a book with almost the same storyline, but has a notch compared to this one. The book name is Change Of Heart from Clare Lydon!

    Get ready for a romance set in the Scottish Highlands, studded with lush scenery, sizzling attraction, a first kiss to make you weak, and lashings of family drama. Clare Lydon is the queen of British romantic comedies, and this story is guaranteed to leave you breathless.

    Both are pretty interesting! Worth the watch and the reading!

    Cute, authentic and captivating!

    So refreshing and cute!

    Great vibe, great actors and believable dialogues.

    Funny moments but not cartoonish.

    Queer but not preachy or educational about it.

    Yes, you can tell it's an indie/low-budget production. Would be great to see this team being commissioned to make something for a big studio. I love Christmas movies cheesiness, but if we could get something in between the usual over-the-top Christmas decorations, fake snow and actors wearing sweaters and puffer jackets but no gloves or hats and this movie filmed in airbnbs with beige walls and no decorations whatsoever... And the 'cafe' that only serves drip coffee and always only has one consumer at a time? Chef's kiss :D.

    I didn't think I'd like it, but a moment after I put it on, I knew I wanted to continue!
