8/10
Originally advertised and listed as "Christmas in London", but Broadcast as "Jolly Good Christmas"

I think it's interesting how the titles of these movies sometimes change, and sometimes it seems, at the last minute. I'm pretty sure we saw an ad a few weeks ago for "Christmas in London", but by airing, the title rolled as "Jolly Good Christmas".

This is so far our second favorite of the 2022 set of Hallmark Christmas romances. Second to Noel Next Door.

It's very much on the theme of "The Out-of-Towners" with a day in which anything that can go wrong ... does go wrong.

It includes the "wrong girlfriend/boyfriend" trope along with the "learn to enjoy life" trope plus the "surprise success" trope, twice.

It was beautifully filmed, and evidently on location in London, unless they did a really good job with digitally rear projected scenery. But the live images of Christmas decorated buildings ... which were likely filmed much earlier, are gorgeous.

For us, it's a recommended watch.
