Santa Tell Me

Olivia is a successful designer, and is about to host her first TV show for Style Network. Her producer hires Chris Davis, the producer of a TV show called Model Home, to oversee her project. Unhappy about this, she lashes out at her driver, only to find out this is Chris.

The idea for the show is to transform a home into a home Santa would like to live in. Chris chooses Olivia's childhood home, which has been abandoned for a while and was purchased by the studio. They have three weeks to turn this rundown home into a perfect holiday home. But boy, do these two get off on the wrong foot!

As a child, Olivia wrote a letter to Santa, and now she finds a letter - from Santa - telling her that she will find her soulmate by Christmas, and that his name is Nick. Only, she meets three guys named Nick: Nick A, Nick B, and Nick C.

Trying to figure out who her soulmate is, she goes on dates with all three of them. Yeah, this is Hallmark, so it is predictable from the beginning. But this is a really sweet movie, and it put a smile on my face! With likeable characters, a good script, and even a bit of fantasy, I was thoroughly entertained. This was fabulous, actually!

This movie promises romance and Christmas magic, and let me tell you it DELIVERS. So nice to see Hallmark make a genuinely funny comedy that still has all the heart and feels a Christmas movie should! I love Erin Krakow from When Calls the Heart and have REALLY been missing Daniel Lissing from the show, and it's SO AMAZING to see them on screen together again. And Erin's other leading men? Oh. My. Goodness. I couldn't believe some of the surprise cameos who showed up to try and win her over. Watched it twice already, truly everything I was hoping for and more. All I want for Christmas is a sequel!

This movie was funny. It was entertaining. It was slightly unexpected. And all around a great hallmark film.

Olivia having the social capacity to date 3... wait 4 men AND organize teams of people to design a house AND film scenes for her show - I'm impressed! That must be her superpower.

I would say my main criticism is that kiss at the end. Did I need to watch them try to eat each others faces? No. It was a little much and not very pleasant to see. Maybe the actors were a little too familiar with each other after acting in When Calls The Heart together. But overall they were a cute couple in the film, I was definitely rooting for Nick in the end..

Wow! Hallmark came up with a great new plot for Santa Tell Me. No tired retreads here. Erin is the best I've ever seen her in this movie - so real, natural, and charming. And I LOVE having four Hallmark leading men vying for her. It is just fantastic fun. Each of the three initial contenders does a fantastic job portraying the potential right guy, but each with fun quirks we normally wouldn't see in the leads. And there are soo many laugh-out-loud, feel good moments. The resolution of it all is so satisfying and doesn't feel rushed, even with the high energy of the final scenes. This movie is one I will look forward to each year to lift my spirits. Whimsical, magical, romantic. What more can we ask of Hallmark and some great actors at the top of their games?

Here was get the start of an antithetical romance, and the antithetical part lasts far longer than they manage in most movies where they try the trope.

A woman doing a Home Makeover type of TV show thinks she's getting in a rideshare and begins bitterly complaining about a man who's been assigned, out of the blue, as the director of her special. Of course, she'd gotten in the wrong car and the man she's complaining to IS the director, who of course doesn't correct her mistake until he finds out everything she has to say. LOL

Then a bit of the mystical pops up as a letter from Santa tells her she will find her true love in a man named Nick. She promptly meets cute with not one but THREE Nicks. Trying to figure out which one the mystical note means, she dates all three.

On the other hand, she starts to like the director more and more.

Cute movie, and one we might decide to watch again.
