7.6 stars.
This movie is slightly above average for alternate reality, second chances, relive your life, time travel Christmas themes. If you watch Hallmark much, you've seen your share of these. Some are stellar, some are just plain odd, some are bad, some are good. 'Take Me Back for Christmas' is good. That's about all. Why isn't my rating over 8 stars, I'm not sure. I do believe the male lead is responsible for 75% of the high ratings for most people. He is always a crowd pleaser (for the gals). The female lead is not so much a favorite for most, although I like her uber sweetness and overly nice personality traits. On the other hand, she is a one trick pony of sorts, every one of her characters is the "same person different film". Fine by me, I like her style, she just needs to change it up a bit. All in all, this is a pleasant go round for this genre. There are no big surprises, it fits the mold. I highly recommend this once every couple of years.
