Trivia
In the scene in the hotel honeymoon suite, the blanket curtain is an idea from It Happened One Night, the walls of Jericho.

Goofs
While Melanie and Santa are chatting before takeoff, the captain announces that they are "number 3 for takeoff". However, the scenery outside of Melanie's window shows that the aircraft is still near structures and not on a taxiway. Nor is there any engine noise from other nearby aircraft taking off.

Great movie until the last 5 minutes

This is a fun, sweet holiday movie that checks all the boxes. Of COURSE you see the end coming, I mean, Hallmark isn't going to pull a 6th Sense surprise on us, but the last 5 minutes are ridiculously concise... it's like they were suddenly told the theater was about to close and they had to wrap up a 30 min conclusion into 4 minutes like a cancelled tv series.

All of the characters were believable, the townspeople were charming and the heroine FINALLY wasn't acting like a spoiled victim. Lacy is a perfectly suited Christmas movie actress and I'm glad to see her in a role that doesn't demean her into being helpless.

A worth-while watch.
