My Christmas Love

I try to watch all of the Hallmark movies. There are very few I haven't seen. I watch them all in hopes of stumbling upon another Moonlight Masquerade, Holiday in Handcuffs, Straight from the Heart, My Fake Fiancée, A Family Thanksgiving, or Gift Wrapped Christmas. It's almost a game with me. These are some of my favorites off the top of my head, and let me tell you, Hallmances that I would re-watch are few and far between. It's no coincidence that my favorites usually feature talented actresses, usually with a flair for comedy, in the title roles: Teri Polo, Daphne Zuniga, and Melissa Joan Hart. Now, I will also add Meredith Hagner to the list. Her sprightly presence is not the only reason this movie succeeds, but it is an important factor. To that I will add a very appealing male lead, good writing (funny situations, dialogue, a few heart-tugs, and a twist even I did not see coming) and an older fan-favorite as an anchor: in this case, Gregory Harrison. Every once in a while, there is a perfect storm of actors, writing, and directing that makes my mission to at least give all of the Hallmark movies a chance, worthwhile. Why doesn't it happen more often?

**Updated 11/16/2017**sad to say, it looks like Meredith Hagner has moved on from Hallmark. I hope I am wrong, but I guess she was just too good to become a regular.

Can this woman be any more annoying??? And the love interest? Has NO INTEREST in her until the end.

I liked the 12 gifts of Christmas theme and gifts. That was very creative and fun.

But the rest of it was just ACKKKKKKK

I gotta be honest, the minute I saw the main character, i asked myself "what have I gotten myself into?" I thought it was going to be one long hour and a half, but surprise, It wasn't at all. I think that what made this movie so special was the chemistry between the characters, they looked like they were having fun for real, and every time Liam looked at Cynthia I melt. I actually enjoyed both characters. This is definitely going to my favorite hallmark movies list.

The plot twist in the end, oh god, I wasn't expecting it at all, have tissues close to you. It's a beautiful movie, I hope everybody enjoys it as a did.

this is my first ever IMDb review.

i am not going to break this film down. i am not going to critique the film. nor the acting, nor the directing. i am just going to say that this is absolutely the best hallmark holiday movie yet. not even close...and i watch them all...repeatedly during the holiday season. (a guilty pleasure) i couldn't tell you how many times i laughed out loud, how touching the ending was ...all i can tell you is if you have the chance and the time, you will not be disappointed.

well done to the cast and crew.

merry Christmas!

It wasn't bad, but the main character did become tedious to watch and horrible to LISTEN to. Where does Hallmark find these actresses who have voices like chipmunks? My 11 yr old granddaughter has a more mature voice. Makes it hard to take the movie seriously. She is supposed to hold a position of seniority as a career, yet she acts like a child. Ridiculous.

The story line was okay, although I found myself skipping forward to get through her absurd dates and vacuous search for Mr. Right among old boyfriends. I finally just zoomed to the ending. There are good actors in the movie that give good performances, but I just wanted to drown the main character to shut her up.
