Unique, Feel-Good Halliday Film (No pun intended, lol)

"A Fabled Holiday" is an adorable story about two people, Talia and Anderson, who reunite after nearly 30 years apart. They grew up as best friends until Talia moved away. In the present, Talia owns a bookstore of her own but dreams of becoming a professional author. Anderson is a doctor, but his career has taken an emotional toll on his well being due to recently losing a patient in a procedure.

Without delving into the details too deeply, Talia, Anderson, Diane and Keith (a couple struggling to keep their marriage), and Charles (a lonely widower) all "coincidentally" arrive at the Gingerbread Inn in a town called Wunderbrook. The town and its townspeople are meant to lift the spirits of all these individuals for the holidays. Gradually, Talia makes connections to her experiences in this town to an old classic book she read in her childhood with Anderson and her dad.

One major thing I really enjoyed was the film's inclusion of more main characters in addition to our two leads. The magical town storyline was unique from many Hallmark films. The film's theme not only included romance. It also included various lessons, such as the importance of being with loved ones during the holidays and working through conflict head-on. I enjoyed watching Ryan Peavey and Brooke D'Prsay, as they had wonderful chemistry.

Overall, this cute Hallmark film will lift your spirits. Watch it with your loved ones while sipping hot cocoa by the fireplace. Great job, Hallmark !
