The Christmas Secret

This is a tearjerker and the best ending I've seen in long time. The actress playing the female lead here is so good and you can't help but to root for her. I highly recommend watching this one. The kids were adorable. The male lead is an actor I'm not all that familiar with and he was fine and played a good guy, I just didn't get any warmth from the character.

Worth watching even in 2022. This movie is one of the best Christmas movies I have watched in a long time. Hallmark did a great job of casting all the right actors. They all had great chemistry from the leads to the supporting actors. The story was real and very relatable to many of us. Hallmark doesn't always hit the mark with their movies most of the time they are predictable and the same story over and over. This one was not that yes I'm sure many would say they knew how it would end but it still made me tear up to see it all come together at the end. For me it's a feel good must watch even years after it was filmed.

For a mostly unknown cast, this movie was pretty good.

The only actor I recognized was Michael Hogan, from the remake of Battlestar Galatica.

A woman with two kids is going through some financial hard times, losing her job after being a good Samaritan, facing an upcoming eviction, and a rotten ex-husband looking to take her kids away.

What follows partially through a case of mistaken identity is a magical story of finding lost family, finding what your heart desires and helping keep the Christmas magic alive.

Worth the view. Charming & Delightful!

There are some Hallmark Christmas movies that I watch again and again. This is one of them. It's just sweet. It's not that corny sweet movie. It has some real substance to it. It has some real life issues. I think that's what I find so endearing about this movie.

This movie and the cast just works. They play off each other well. It's nice to see people doing good deeds for each other without expecting something in return. It's also nice to see sweet and respectful kids. I like that this movie has little mini storylines going on during it.

Hallmark premiered several new Christmas movies this year, and this one hits a lot of sentimental high points to be among the best.

A struggling single mother who waitresses moves to the town she believes her father (who died when she was a baby) had grown up in, to hopefully learn about him.

Acting by the entire cast is spot on for the approach this one takes. It's unashamedly a "feel-good" type movie, but with this story that's not a problem at all. The numerous secret connections between the characters suggest a higher power is at work bringing all these people together, a story line that is told in an uplifting manner that is never schmaltzy. The characters are likable (except for the villains who play their villainy very well too).

Just a good-natured film for some Christmas season cheer, which is what this movie set out to be.
