Christmas at the Palace

What a great storyline, acting, flow, and romance. Just a great movie that gives me pure happiness!!!

First time I have seen Merritt Patterson and what a bright spot she was. She was in two movies in 2017 A ROYAL WINTER and THE CHRISTMAS COTTAGE. I will watch these other movies. She could be the 3rd sister in a movie with Amber Marshall (Heartland) and Megan Parks. Andrew Cooper as the king was OK, but I think less screen time would have been better. Loved the beginning scenes where she didn't know he was the king and he didn't tell her. Loved him having the name the Grinch King. What is not to love about this movie. It falls short of excellence. Maybe more of an emotional tie between her and the princess. Maybe some more realistic figure skating. Brittany Bristow did do a pretty good spiral. Hope Merritt makes more Christmas movies.

There was something so different in this Hallmark film than in any other. The acting wasn't over the top and the romance didn't appear forced or random or awkward at all. The characters were all really likeable and genuine. Even the moody royal stereotype was portrayed in a way that made you like him not think "oh here's another tv royal guy". The direction given to the characters on their behavior was just real and relatable. I thoroughly enjoyed this film and hope Hallmark makes more with this direction.

All the characters conquer their fears and along the way enjoying the holidays. It is an up and down set of challenges revolving around a skater and a crown prince. Toss in some great friends and the king's 10 year old daughter for smiles, you have a good Hallmark movie. I give this movie 8 out of 10 cups of hot cocoa-with lots of marshmallows.

This is like the other christmas/Palace type movies where the girl ends up with the prince/King but I always watch them and enjoy them.

This was a good movie and i watched it as part of my Christmas movies before Christmas day challenge which is now on 17 out of 100.

Would I watch it again? Yeah. It was nice.
