L'amour revient toujours à Noël

This was another romantic mystery movie put together by Hallmark. The snowfall inn was purchased by a former finance guy, Ben, after a bad breakup trying to recreate the happiness he experienced as a child at the inn. Sarah arrives at the end after receiving the stay as a gift...Sarah is a lawyer who lost her mom this last year and somewhere along the way lost the plans that she had made with her mom to share a practice. Sarah soon discovers that there are other guests at the inn who also received gift stays from the same mysterious benefactor. The other beneficiaries are a newly divorced dad with his teen daughter who he is struggling to connect with, a traveling musician who is newly widowed and lost the inspiration to perform, a newly divorced school teacher, and a salesman.

Each of these stories is looking for something this Christmas and they all discover that they all have a link to a single past Christmas at the Snowflake Inn.

The mystery of who brought this cast of characters together was the best part of this movie.

Although this movie is very slow paced, Lacey Chabert helps keep it interesting and worth watching. She plays Sarah, a lawyer who lost her mother a few months prior. She takes time off from her job in order to take care of her mom's affairs, including her open litigation cases. Sarah receives a gift reservation at an inn and assumes it was sent by her law firm. Once she arrives, she later finds out that no one knows who sent the invitation. And there end up being several other guests who received the exact same invite. With the help of the inn's owner, Ben, Sarah tries to figure out the mystery of who brought them all together. The connection they end up having is heartwarming. I enjoyed watching this one. It brought a smile to my face and warm fuzzies to my heart.

Lacey Chabert is great. She does so great in these movies and I love watching them during the holidays. The lead actor was great too. I really enjoyed the story, but the ending didn't quite hit like it should've. I really enjoyed the chemistry between the two leads which saved this movie. I was rooting for all the characters. The supporting cast was enjoyable as well.

I absolutely love this tear-jerker holiday movie. It's a celebration of love, family, friends, and the spirit of the holidays. The acting is phenomenal - Leon and Lacey Chabert give stellar performances. There is a real tangible emotion to their characters. Vienna Leacock plays a teen going through the difficulties of parent's divorcing and her growth as a character is heartwarming. Lini Evans plays the sweet and lovable Karen. The mystery reveal is so touching. Overall, this movie was fantastic and I continue to watch it over and over.

This is and interesting and fun little story although it seems like it may have been written in a hurry or unfinished. It's a Christmas buffet of (sometimes eye-rolling) connections and coincidences where the Characters are mysteriously brought together for Christmas at a cozy little Inn. The acting by Chabert and Huszar, along with a strong cast, still manage to make the movie enjoyable to watch
