    Watch past the 1st ep

    Give it a chance. It's great to get in the holiday spirit.

    If you like the Standard christmas movies you must see this show :)

    Keep watching... it gets better.

    Like other reviewers the laugh track was a turn off for me. I mean it was simply horrible. If you stay with it you will find yourself really getting interested in the story and characters. The laugh track never gets better but you learn to get past it as the the story arc grows. The ending wraps up really well and teases a second season. I started off saying there would be no season 2 as it was so terrible with the laugh track but now I am looking forward to it. Hoping there is one.

    Improves with the episodes

    Honestly, the first episode is very stiff, and the acting is forced, but as the show moved along, it got better. By the last few episodes, I thought the characters came across much more believable.

    It's a very nice Christmas show.

    It's a very nice Christmas show. Funny dialogues. Humor, sarcasm, irony. More like a theater show with great and good actors. I would love to see season two.

    Pleasantly Surprised

    I'm not a huge fan of stereotypical Holiday movies, but since this was a show I decided to give it a chance. I'm almost done with the first season and I have to say I'm really enjoying it. I also wasn't expecting the laugh-track sitcom style, but it I love it! I really hope this comes back every year :)
