Totally enjoyed it. It was a refreshing departure from the Hallmark Christmas movie line up with all the same actors, repeated storylines, and over-the-top home, office, and town decorations. Although the storyline was somewhat predictable with love interests getting snowed in along their journey (but that's why we watch these romantic holiday movies, right?), the "non-Diva" influencer/model lead was unexpected. She was cast well to be a likable character and build the needed personal connections. I found the mother and her home to be relatable and realistic but think some other actors fell short. The manager, brother, and younger sister over-acted. Good script but heir line delivery felt unnatural. Still, it was a sweet movie worth watching.
