Christmas in the Air

This was being shown on the Hallmark channel so I just turned it on and watched it.

I didn't know anything about it beforehand but I really enjoyed it.

I love that he is a toymaker and very creative.

The main stars looked good together and I liked the story.

I watched this to add to my Christmas challenge and I am glad I did.

I will watch this again.

All you need to do is see the names of one female and one male and you always know how these formulaic things will end. No suspense whatsoever. However, in this case it was worse because the romantic couple were not the least bit romantic. Absolutely unbelievable that they got together. And the whole "dancer in a box" was just plain creepy.

I watch almost all of the Hallmark Christmas movies but this couple really have no chemistry on screen at all. The kids are super cute in the movie, plus love that they are toy-makers.

Most of my favorite Christmas movies have a leading lady who is energetic and quirky. This time, it is Eric Close, as Robert, that has that spirit. He and Catherine Bell, as Lydia, are a great compliment to each other. The movie is enjoyable as we watch their relationship grow. Robert needs to learn to organize and Lydia could use some spontaneity.

Many Christmas movies are appealing because of one or more kids. Trinity Rose Likins, as Amelia does a great job as a beautiful little girl. Her memories of her mom are special. Jesse Filkow is her brother, Thomas, and he rounds out the family.

This story doesn't surprise us much, but neither does it stretch our credibility. It manages to provide heartwarming moments without doing so.

Sweet single dad hires professional organizer to step in and help at Christmas. He's the brains behind a family toy store and she is the organizer. The beauty of this film is that his motivation is really in the right place, he prioritizes his kids and just needs a little help not dropping the ball. Catherine Bell and Eric Close have great on screen chemistry, and the kids and brother fill in the heart warming cast...with a little help from her best friend. Christmas cookies, poinsettias, and a discussion about the bright star Sirius...make this a Hallmark film you should see.
