Hallmark Christmas movie, what can I say... it's well meaning but the "Christmas" point is rammed down your throat here with a vague story attached and zero chemistry between our couple. Follows Audrey, a frantic, busybody & coffee shop owner in some non descript American town and Matt a soldier stationed overseas who exchange letters over the course of a year. Matt conveniently gets stationed in said small town over Christmas where the two meet and their "worlds collide" in a Christmas Blur.
I did enjoy Mark Blucas as Matt, he made this watchable but there's no real story here just one heavily decorated Christmas themed event after another. No conflict, no chemistry. The story would have benefitted with some more time spent with our couple getting to now each other through the letters. I think the correspondence year passed in about 20 seconds of screen time. Maybe to allow more screen time for carolling.
