    Came for the romance, stayed for the family.

    Hallmark Movies and Mysteries tends to do much complex (and better movies(. And this is no exception.

    Adelaide, a country star is tired of being told what to do regarding her career, so when she sees the opportunity to stay for a while in this family farm with an adorable family she takes it, and grows personally and therefore, professionally.

    My favorite aspect of this movie is that it is not centered on the romance but on Adelaide's development and her relationship not with Dillon but with his entire family and the family farm. I'm also glad that the plot took another direction, different as usual, and that Dillon discovered who she was almost at the beginning of the story.

    I really like the script. It wasn't corny and it had a few funny comebacks. So, points for that. Kevin and Becca had great chemistry between themselves and even with the actors who were part of the family, who contributed so much to the story.

    Even though I knew how the story was going to develop, I had a very good time watching it.

    It's very enjoyable

    I don't look for things that seem far fetched but the whole cast worked. This was the most enjoyable movie ihave seen beccatobinin. Her and her male lead work.

    Watchable.

    Enjoyable

    Adelaide Kay is a country music rising star who gets left behind in a small town when her bus leaves without her. Traffic jams and weather problems delay them in returning and even after that she decides to make it difficult for them to find her.

    Meanwhile, Addie finds an extremely friendly and giving family, most of whom don't know who she is. Of course the family is about to lose their farm. Most of the movie focuses on Addie falling love with the family, and with Dillon, and trying to help as they fight to hold on. There is no hidden lie between her and Dillon since he figures out who she is early on.

    Becca Tobin and Kevin McGarry fall into an easy relationship founded on the characters' mutual love for music. All the actors in the family are real and lovable. Kendra Leigh Timmins is especially so as the teenage sister of Dillon who devises a vision for saving the farm. One acting or possibly directing criticism: the adoring fans with signs (as shown in previews) were lame.

    The story is about having courage to follow your dreams and is totally predictable but enjoyable.

    Don't we already have enough Christmas songs?...

    This was actually one of the better Hallmark Christmas season movies that I have seen during the 2017 Christmas season.

    Sure, it followed the generic and stereotypical formula that Hallmark use in every single one of their Christmas movies, but it just worked out better somehow in "A Song for Christmas".

    A lot of credit for making this a good movie should be given to Becca Tobin for her performance in the movie, because she really carried this greatly.

    While "A Song for Christmas" doesn't have the potential to become a Christmas classic, nor being a movie that you watch more than once, it is still beautiful enough to take the time and sit down with your loved ones to watch once during the yuletide seasons.

    • Trivia
      The custom coach used by Adelaide Kay and company was made by Prévost, a Québec-based luxury coach builder and subsidiary of Volvo. Prévost built the custom coaches used by Presidents George W. Bush and Donald Trump; the latter was dubbed "Ground Force One."

      While Dillon is showing Addie around the Christmas tree farm, he proudly points out the different species. Balsam fir, spruce, tamarack. The thing is...as anyone who has spent time in Montana will tell you, tamaracks are beautiful trees, they'd just be lousy Christmas trees. They turn the most brilliant yellow in the fall--just before they lose their needles for the winter.
