After watching this Christmas movie every year since 2017, I thought it was time to submit a review because this is Hallmark at its best. The script is witty, clever, and intelligent. All seven of the lead actors are extremely believable and wonderful to watch. These are talented people who deliver sincere and charming performances in a Christmas tale that is told in a way that keeps you interested and intrigued by what is going to happen to all seven of them. There is just enough drama in the plot to keep it moving along but, for the most part, the story concentrates more on the spirit of Christmas and how it affects people's lives. Nicky Whelan and Josh Kelly have an undeniable film chemistry here, but you could really say all of the cast members develop characters that intertwine in a delightful way. Filmed on location in real places in Connecticut, which makes the movie even more realistic, the director does an excellent job with camera angles that only serve to enhance the locale, the story, and the smart performances of all of the actors. Kudos to the set decorators who made these actual locations look like the Christmas season we would all like to experience. The ending is magical in a way that can't help but put you in the Christmas spirit, which should be the ultimate goal of any Christmas movie. This movie achieves that perfectly.
