Christmas in Evergreen: Letters to Santa

This follow up was so much better than last year's Christmas in Evergreen. Jill Wagner was very good in the lead female role, and I love that she looks so natural and doesn't plaster on that awful dark eye makeup and wear the huge false eyelashes that so many other Hallmark ladies do. She lets her natural beauty show through; too bad others don't do the same. Instead, the makeup seems to get thicker and thicker every year. The plot of this follow up was more interesting and the supporting actors that were also in the last movie were better and played a larger part in the movie. The rating I gave was rather high for what this was, but when rating Hallmark movies I only compare with other Hallmark movies as they are in a class of their own. This one didn't make me angry like so many others do, and I didn't cringe once, so I'm happy.

Evergreen is beautiful! A perfect Christmas town! Would have loved to see Ryan and Zoe and more Ashley Williams.

Practically indistinguishable from the original, which I guess is a plus for a made-for-TV sequel.

'Christmas in Evergreen: Letters to Santa', like the 2017 film, is lacking something. There's again nothing particularly negative about it, it's just missing a thing to turn things up a notch to create a fun festive film. The plot change-up is solid, it doesn't improve upon the first's but it's just as OK.

Jill Wagner is a step up from Ashley Williams, though the latter was good too. Mark Deklin, however, is a step down from Teddy Sears. I didn't buy into the relationship of Lisa (Wagner) and Kevin (Deklin), I didn't sense enough chemistry - same with the secondary love story, featuring Holly Robinson Peete (Michelle). I do like how they did the continuity, at least on the surface, despite the cast changes.

Overall though, like its predessceor, it's too bland.

First I am a fan of Jill Wagner Hallmark Films. She is always good in.all of them. Second, this movie was so much better than the original "Christmas in Evergreen". Ms. Wagner's character was so relatable throughout the film.and the supporting cast was great. Holly R. Peete's character was much better as well. In the first "Evergreen" film her character was depicted as a whiny character who couldn't get anything done without the lead character's help. Very annoying. Totally opposite in this film and Ms. Wagner and her male lead had good screen chemistry. This movie made me cry at the end because of the side plot relating to the male lead and I look forward to watching this again.next year when Hallmark airs it.

She thinks she needs to get a childhood dream out of her system but could this be the place she could finally settle down. When she starts an ambitious task, she might just need a Christmas miracle, or a hansom stranger! A great follow on movie. Normally I think they go down hill but their is no fear of that with this movie.
