On the positive side, I'll say this is a different kind of story for a "Christmas" romance movie. It's actually a mix of romance and mystery with criminal implications.
The acting is poor. Esmé Bianco is totally flat. Ryan Bittle tries to hard. Their chemistry is forced, so not really any. Much of the dialogue is bland.
The story does some cliché things and some stupid things. Mystery phone calls by the partner. All the scenes of someone hiding in shadows and following the heroes. Tough guy in prison who overacts badly. A romance that develops out of nothing, except maybe bonding over the shared danger. Oh, and the cute anagram.
The whole chase seems a little unnecessary. The bad guy would have been better off leaving everything as is.
Where did the dog go? Simple. The writers didn't need him after he caused the clerk to sneeze at unfortunate times.
Did anyone not guess who Jack is?
The only tie to Christmas is some Christmas cards.
