So, this is my 3rd Hallmark Christmas movie of the 2020 season. It is at the top of my list thus far. The acting was good. Julie Gonzalo was great; I tend to like her Hallmark (or Hallmark like) films. The chemistry between the two leads was pretty good as well. I liked the cookies scenes, for example. The support cast too did a good job. I thought the aunt (BJ Harrison) had a good performance. The storyline/plot was what I expected from a Hallmark film. So, no surprises there. I did find the stopping at the Moose crossing to be a bit odd. We have these where I grew up; you did not stop, but slowed down and paid attention for moose, if you saw one then you stopped. Overall, it was a good start to the 2020 Christmas movie season by Hallmark.

A decent Hallmark Christmas movie
above average.
Pretty good. Julie Gonzalo was charming and funny and I liked they incorporated her Latino heritage into the character. I usually appreciate it when there is more going on that just the love story, and this one brought in her professional life and challenges. I like the tension with her coworker trying to steal her client when she got stuck in Alaska. A Sweet love story and I was actually a little moved at one point.
Don't waste your time
Bad from the beginning to the end. There was no bounding with any of th3 characters.. there was zero on screen chemistry from the leads. Really zero storyline. Of all the hallmark new Christmas releases this was by far the worst. The best by the way was Deliver by Christmas. I really usuallylikeJulie,smokies but she was even off on this one. Did anyone read th3 script before. Not good.
