This is not a typical Christmas romance story. It is more of a family story. There are family activities and nostalgia.
There is a primary focus on Samantha and Simon who already have a relationship much of the movie is about a struggle in their relationship due to doubts on her part We learn some of her backstory which helps explain her attitude. As a result, I found the overall tone of the movie to be less optimistic than I would hope for in a Christmas movie.
This movie leaves out a lot of overused plot lines, but it does cram in a lot of the usual traditional Christmas activities. In fact Nanna gave them a list.
My rating is more about how I personally felt about the movie than about the actual quality of the story and acting. The story is refreshingly different from the usual fare and the acting is true to life.
