    It's a hallmark movie!!

    DON'T FALL FOR FALSE REVIEWS AND DON'T BELIEVE ONES THAT BRAG ABOUT REVIEWING OVER "200" CHRISTMAS MOVIES!! Now for honesty!!Hallmark doesn't make blockbusters!! They don't aim for their movies to be award winning!! They make movies to feel good & watchable from the FAMILY!! Does this movie have flaws, of course it does. They film most of these movies in warm weather, but don't miss the meaning of the movie. It's about learning to let lose and take the unexpected!! Just watch it & try to enjoy the meaning!! This is a good family Christmas movie!!

    Comfortable Christmas Movie

    I enjoyed this movie for the interspersed humor, beautiful scenery, interaction of the main actors and mostly because it was relaxing to watch. I watch movies like this to relax and NOT be jarred out of a calm mood and this one succeeded. The overall concept wasn't original, and for the most part the end was predictable, so if you want surprises, this probably isn't for you. But for me, overall, the movie worked.

    Holy white blankets

    If you watch the first 5 minutes of this you will get the feel of the rest of the movie. The actors did a good job, but as the other reviews stated, the script and plot are a little flat. Frankly, what do you expect from the Halmark channel? It was a happy seasonal flick, but is unlikely to become a classic.

    Also, I would just like to point out those were all white blankets...not snow. Snow crunches when it is stepped on. Oh, and I would also like to point out that the Cessna had one landing light when taxiing out, but two, rather bright lights once airborne (when the landing light would have been off).

    It will surely encourage a little bit of Christmas spirit, and perhaps even some winter fashion tips. -Just look past the sub-par CGI and that it was clearly filmed in a warmer climate.

    Cute...

    When a driven doctor doesn't get the prestigious position she planned for, she unexpectedly finds herself moving to a remote Alaskan town. While she meets the locals and even starts a new romance, she has to learn to let the life she planned for give way to a love she could never have imagined, and finds this festive small town is hiding one big holiday secret.

    A cute Christmas movie trying to give that moral lesson to those who don't appreciate the simple things in life, and that excessive ambition can blind us to the truly important things... Those low-budget Christmas-themed movies that are worth it and leave a warm heart, I've watched some movies directed and scripted by Peter Sullivan, cute...

    Strange Movie

    This movie is very frustrating. It teases you about all kinds of plot points, but never really sees them to fruition or explains them. The ending is dramatically insufficient for the amount of time dedicated to the subject matter. This movie is a always looking for a plot and refuses to engage the most interesting thing about the town where everything happens. When the ending finally does come, it leaves you with many more questions than answers. Garland, the main town, is supposed to be 300 miles north of Anchorage Alaska, and only reachable by bush plane. Yet the town is quite diverse and large, with a coffee shop, general store, fancy cabins for people to live in and a major shipping company based there, anything but what would be found in a small town in central Alaska. They also complain about the cold, yet spend most of the movie walking around without hats or mittens, implying it is not as cold as they said it is. The random extras walking around downtown Garland would look right at home in a British Columbia tourist ski resort town and completely out of their element in a real Alaskan bush town. This movie promised so much frustrating doesn't deliver.

      The continuation or sequel is A Cozy Christmas Inn (2022) staring Jodie Sweetin who was in Full House (1987) and Fuller House (2016) with Candace Cameron Bure.
    • Goofs
      The movie takes place in December, at a location north of Anchorage, Alaska. There is too much sunlight during the day. For instance, when Dr. Brunell's alarm goes off at 6:30 A.M., it should be dark. The room is flooded with sunlight.
