One Royal Holiday

This is my 6th Hallmark Christmas movie of the 2020 season. Overall, it was a pretty good movie. Laura Osnes's performance was great. Her counterpart (Aaron Tveit) was not bad; I liked his performance more and more as the movie played on. The chemistry between the two was pretty good as well. The supporting cast did a great job; I particularly like the Queen Mother (Victoria Clark's performance). The plot was very predictable as you would expect from a Hallmark film, especially Hallmark's (crowned) prince meets girl (a commoner) movies. That said, it did keep me engaged thru-out. I know the script for these types of films can be a bit 'corny' or 'sappy'. But there were a few scenes where it was maybe a bit too much, e.g., when the Queen Mother went to Anna's room to say goodbye and said '[...] you will always be part of our family'. Really? After knowing her for a few days? The ending scene too with the 'royal slippers' was a laughable. Finally, was the royal castle a children's playhouse? It looked like one on the screen. Overall, a pretty good Hallmark Christmas movie. I would recommend it, especially if you are a fan of Hallmark films.

This is a very nice movie, will watch it again. And some nice music for a change! BTW, Winter Wonderland at the very beginning of the movie is performed by the two leads, Laura Osnes and Aaron Tveit, at least according to Shazam...

Don't usually don't like hallmark movies but I watched this because of Aaron and it was not bad. It brought the Christmas cheer and no cliches

I have to admit, this has to be one of Hallmark's best productions in a long time. Excellent cast and great chemistry between all of them. I don't know, it felt new and I loved the improved concept of the royal element in this. Also, the two leads were very great together, they seemed real. Great job Hallmark, but keep this film in mind in the future.

Finally a prince who acts like a prince! This was a sweet coincidental love story. Thank you Hallmark! Highlights were the Queen mother!...she was absolutely refreshing and fantastic!, the castle...I wish we got to see more but I particularly liked the moat bridge entrance and all the turrets!, and the attention drawn to the sacrificial and compassionate nature of most nurses.

Like all Hallmark Christmas movies, this was no exception, it was filled with Christmas activities, decorations, and the true spirit of Christmas...aka people helping people.

I laughed and I cried...and I would do it all over again!
