I don't really like the story of Miss Christmas, but I keep coming back to it every year because of the acting. Brooke D'Orsay and Marc Blucas manage to inject drama into the cheesy Hallmark plot and turn it into one of the great ones. If you blew this one off last year because the one-sentence synopsis sounded silly, take my advice and watch it this year when you see it on the Hallmark schedule.

Brooke D'Orsay plays a beautiful peppy career woman in charge of finding the perfect (and gigantic) Christmas tree every year for the annual Chicago lighting ceremony. Because of her festive television appearances, she's acquired the nickname "Miss Christmas". A little boy writes her a letter enclosing a photograph of a perfect (and gigantic) Christmas tree on his family farm, and she travels to the small town to talk his family into donating it. Most people are thrilled to donate their tree and see it on television, but the boy's father, Marc Blucas, adamantly refuses. He explains that the tree is a family heirloom, and while I'm completely on his side, Brooke stays in town a few days to continue the argument. I know the conflict in this story seems a little petty, but trust me and stick with it.

Brooke has an infectious charm that goes beyond the normal Hallmark "Christmas cavity". Even though it's her job to convince them to donate the tree, she's still very sympathetic to their feelings and treats them as real people, rather than sounding boards bouncing off her script. As the movie progresses, you can actually see her breaking down Marc's guard. He's very believable as a divorcée who doesn't want to get hurt again. Falling in love with a businesswoman in town for only a few days is risky, but he just can't help himself. When he describes his feelings, that his new fondness for the holidays is her natural glow rather than just Christmas cheer, he actually gets tears in his eyes. It's a cheesy Hallmark scene on paper, but they make it romantic and moving on the screen. If this type of Hallmark appeals to you, rent Miss Christmas. If this sounds like too much realism, stick with the silly ones like The Sweetest Christmas instead.

I Have Reviewed OVER 400 ( C H R I S T M A S ) MOVIES so beware of fake reviews & reviewers. Many Christmas films only have 1 review. When it's a POSITIVE REVIEW chances are that the reviewer was involved with the production. If its a negative review then they may have a huge grudge against the film.

I am fare about these films. The only reason why I review them is to keep track of what "I have seen".

In this film

A lovely lady Nicknamed "Miss Christmas," the official tree finder for Chicago's renowned Radcliffe Tree lighting is left desperate to find the perfect tree. A letter from a young boy promising his tree is perfect sends her to a small town where she learns the young boy's dad isn't willing to part with his tree.

Now any Christmas Film that has a "One Horse Open Sleigh" scene is almost guaranteed to get a rave review from me.

Now what I like about this film is shows us how "Christmas Traditions" in your childhood get carried over when your an adult. In fact you miss the people that you lost the most at Christmas Time.

Now this wasn't the greatest Hallmark Movie however the leads are pleasant. The film has faults but most films do.

I will watch it again

Merry Christmas

I like Brooke as Holly and Marc as Sam, although they are not compatible in this movie. Not believable that they would fall for each other in one week.

One main thing that bothered me throughout is the idea that killing a 35 year old tree brings joy to city folks for 2 weeks each year. I'm not against tree farms and cut Christmas trees, but really, all Holly's arguments for how important the tree is to be cut down and transported, only to be covered with ornaments and lights, oohed and aahed, viewed for a week or so, cut into boards for homes for veterans, as if that makes killing it justifiable, then next year they have to find Another "Perfect" old 30 foot tall tree.

The acting was fine and the actors are pleasant enough to watch.

The Hallmark tropes are there, however, as in most of their movies: the interrupted kiss, and the overheard half of a conversation resulting in anger and pouting, until they finally realize they were wrong.

This was the second viewing of Miss Christmas to see if I might be mistaken on my rating. No, still a 6, which is an okay movie that I would not watch again.

Run of the mill production from Hallmark. In this film a woman who is in charge of a towns Christmas Tree Festival must look for a new tree when the one she wanted is no longer available.

The tree finder is Chicago's renowned Radcliffe Tree lighting is left desperate to find the perfect tree. A letter from a boy promising his tree is perfect sends her to a small town where she learns his dad isn't willing to part with the tree.

When she arrives in town she finds out the owner of the tree doesn't want her to have it.

Heart warming feature. Give it a shot! Now there is someone here attacking another reviewer. I trust his/hers views. They have been on IMDb for years.

I looked at what the reviewer has "Claimed". There are many films that have reviews and the reviewer has only reviewed that film!

I looked at his/her reviews and they are never "rude". I think someone on this board got called out on their behavior!

Holly is "Miss Christmas", she is in charge of the Christmas decorations in Chicago, specially the "famous" tree ceremony. She is searching for the perfect tree when she receives a letter from a boy who has the tree she is looking for.

When you search "Hallmark Christmas Movies" this is what you found. This movie had all the cliches we are used to, the baking, the tree lighting ceremony, a meet cute between our leads, a misunderstanding, even the names (Holly, and the city is named Klaus!)

While Brooke's acting wasn't a favorite of mine, I enjoyed the movie, she had good chemistry with Marc, and the rest of the cast. I'm glad the child wasn't super annoying and we had just the right amount of him.

I was pleased with the ending, while I was expecting something like that to happen, I was expecting it to be the other way around (If you watched it, you should understand).

I liked it, however, it wasn't a favorite and may not even watch again. But it is so worth it. It just feels good.

When you choose to watch a Hallmark movie, you know exactly what to expect. These movies may not have the most original plot line, but you know that you'll walk away with a warm heart and smile on your face. Miss Christmas does exactly that.

There were the typical clichés, but this movie stood out to me because it wasn't as awkward or inorganic. The actors had great chemistry, and the family aspect really stood out. This movie was very uplifting and joyous.

If you enjoy watching these types of movies, I definitely recommend this one!

It's a good movie; your typical predictable Christmas romance. It is really odd there are people in the movie walking on the scenes who are setting up things. You can see a lady's legs walking on the porch is one scene and about three people walking behind the main cast when digging in a box looking for Ana gel for the wreath.

In a sea of cookie-cutter Christmas movies, this one stands out. The genuine chemistry between each and every cast member is rare. I can't say enough good things about it. I've always been a huge fan of Blucas ever since the late 90s so it was great to see him again after so many years. This film had me smiling and tearing up through the entire thing. I definitely recommend this one.

I enjoyed watching this and I recommend it for anyone looking for a typical feel-good Hallmark movie. The leads have chemistry together and the supporting characters were enjoyable to watch. Some thought went into writing the script and there wasn't a lot of "stuff" that didn't make sense or was a ridiculous stretch. Granted, the choosing of a Christmas tree for a large city tree lighting starts 6-9 months, in advance, but who cares ... it's Hallmark. Most of us know what to expect in a Hallmark Christmas movie and the viewers get that ending. The towns that Hallmark uses to film in are usually super cute. I was a little disappointed with this filming location: it could have used more decorations. The snow falling scenes appear to be digitally added and there didn't seem to be a blue sky anywhere, which is a good thing. I did find it interesting that people were running around wearing sweaters, only, in December Wisconsin weather, though.

I'm a fan of Miss Christmas. If you're looking for a good Hallmark movie this is a nice one. I like it for its goodness. Miss Christmas is a nice character but she is so desperate to find a Christmas tree and under so much pressure she questions if she even wants to be Miss Christmas anymore. It would help a lot if she had a family to share it with. How will Hallmark fix this situation? Well they do. They always do.

Maybe, "nice" is not the most inspired word. Because the story is far to be credible, too forced, because the end is a sort of compromise and the love story almost deep fake. Because I do not feel any emotion or presence of "noble spirit" . But, sure, it is just another Christmas movie in Hallmark style and to expect too much from it seems childish. But it deserves be better.Brooke D Orsay seems be part of campaign for shampoon, Marc Blucas is too soft as Sam and the little Luke Roessler is not the best Joey. But , sure, a cup of milk and few cookies around it are good motifs for see , eating them, "Miss Christmas".

The title is on the corny side but was appetising and cute enough. There is absolutely nothing novel or innovative about the story, but there was the potential if done decently it could have some charm without being too sweet. Hallmark Christmas films are a very mixed bag and one should never expect too much from them, but they have shown more than once amidst all their average and less efforts that they are capable of above average and even surprisingly good festive films.

'Miss Christmas' left me a bit mixed in terms of what my opinion on it was overall. It is a long way from being a terrible film in my view and served its purpose as a just scraping borderline average, inoffensive film. Other Hallmark Christmas films are far worse written, acted and looking and ones that bored, annoyed and insulted the intelligence more. Sadly, 'Miss Christmas' didn't strike me as particularly good either, with a lot of the usual flaws apparent. It does have good things.

And those good things are going to be mentioned first. Visually, 'Miss Christmas' looks quite good with it being shot and lit well and while standard the settings were appealing at least. The music has some affectionate nostalgia that does give off a festive vibe.

Brooke D'Orsay is appealing in the female lead role and Marc Blucas is a charming leading man who looks comfortable and looked engaged with the material. They do have a nice natural, genuine chemistry together, it's standard but there is spark and charm with them. Some of the film is heart-warming and sweet, with good intentions evident and doesn't feel too heavy.

However, 'Miss Christmas' is easy to criticise regardless of how one approaches the film and tries to take it for what it is. None of the supporting actors stand out and provide very little variation on nearly every character cliche in the book. Or at least that's how it felt like. The story doesn't have enough to it. Actually don't mind awfully that it was very formulaic.

What bothered me was that there was very unimaginatively executed, was really not much of one at all, had some fairly contrived situations and the film gets so sweet (too much so) in places it was almost sickly. Everything with the tree started off well but got ridiculous later. The script is similarly thin and quite routine, tending to have an awkward flow and was excessively cheesy and schmaltzy. By the end, which while sweet can indeed be seen from miles off, of the film it was one big pile of sloppy mush. Pacing can be a problem, with the story being too little a lot of the film crawls along and feels over-stretched. The direction is only functional at best and can be on the leaden side of things.

Overall, watchable but merely average. 5/10

Holly, (Brooke D'Orsay), is the creative director and responsible for finding the Christmas tree for Chicago's famous Radcliffe Center Christmas Display. Because of her love and enthusiasm for Christmas people keep referring to her as Miss Christmas. She is desperate to find the perfect tree for this year's ceremony; she finds a letter from a boy named Joey (Luke Roessler)promising his tree is perfect and invites her to his small town, Claus, Wisconsin to pick up the tree. She goes there only to find the boy's dad, Sam, (Marc Blucas) a Scrooge like person and hater of Christmas, isn't willing to part with the tree because of sentimental reasons. Time is running out and Holly has only short time to convince Sam to donate the tree or she will lose her job!

Brooke is wonderful, as Holly capturing her joy, enthusiasm, and radiating the character's love of Christmas. Lucas is also good in the role of the Grinch like Sam. And the rest of the supporting roles are well cast. I wish there was a just a little bit more romance between Holly and Sam. This movie really makes you embrace the joy and of Christmas as you join Holly in embracing the Christmas spirit of the town and Sam's family. Yes, this story is predictable but an enjoyable movie nonetheless.

Greetings, salutations, and a seasonal welcome to my considerations and recommendation of Miss Christmas.

Life is tough for a Christmas Tree Wrangler. Imagine taking an entire year to find and take care of the future noble tree to be decorated for the season of goodwill. The chosen pine will become a symbol of hope for the city of Chicago - what a great responsibility. The strange thing is that in this weird world, I can believe somebody actually has this dream job. One year's pay for three months of work - awesome. Sadly, this season, the role of Chicago's Christmas Tree Wrangler became tougher. The chosen pine has developed a sickness that means it's no longer a viable option. So, with little time to spare, the hunt is on for a new spruce. Enter Miss Christmas, the Christmas Tree Wrangler. Apart from the silly job, the movie isn't too bad. It embellishes the Christmas Spirit and possesses a gentle romanticism: It's your typical boy meets girl flick. Of course, they have the usual ups and downs, with both eagerly grabbing at the wrong end of the stick to add more drama for the viewers. And, therefore, add more sentimentality to the climax. The good thing is that the characters are likeable to varying degrees - with no real Scrooge or Grinch turning up in the picture. The characters are also well enough developed to entertain you for an hour and a half, and the actors and actresses deliver credible portrayals of each. Though the direction is pretty standard, it works to move the story along at a steady pace and adds nicely to the heartwarming atmosphere.

If you enjoy romantic Christmas Movies, Miss Christmas is worth a look-see.

Take Care, Stay Well, And Best Wishes For A Merry Christmas.

Loved it from beginning to end. What's wrong with knowing how it will end? IT'S A HALLMARK MOVIE!! The chemistry between the main characters are so real. Yes, she's annoyingly cheerful LOL and positive. But that's what Christmas is all about, isn't it?

I really liked the story of the McNary family and Holly was a sweetheart who fit right in. The tree was so special to the family and it was a tough decision that turned out perfectly. Holly and Sam clicked immediately and had great chemistry. It was great to see Marc Blucas in another Christmas movie, he always plays a wonderful romantic hero.

Yeah, this was yet another mass produced Hallmark Christmas movie, that broke no new ground.

It was as generic and scripted as they come, and I say that in the most possible positive manner, because this was not a bad movie. But it was one that follows a very over-used formula of 'how-to-make-a-Christmas-movie' that Hallmark uses repeatedly.

The storyline in "Miss Christmas" was predictable, as it tends to be for movies such as this, and you knew exactly how the movie was going to end. However, there were some nice enough moments throughout the movie to make it worthwhile actually sticking with it to the very end.

And I will say that both Brooke D'Orsay and Marc Blucas were performing quite well and really carried the movie quite nicely, which made it all the more enjoyable to watch.

From the start of this movie I kept being impressed by the little things. Say what you like about the acting or the story or the production, and I will, but these things are the sum of how the story teller masters the little things.

You could tell quickly that Brooke D'Orsay was going to convince us how wonderful Christmas is. And you could tell that she and Marc Blucas were going to connect. They did the little flirty things and the uncertainty, but most of all they did the emotions. And they kept doing it through the whole movie. Luke Roessler did his part too, as the 8 year old that sent the letter that started it all. The director didn't overwhelm us with him - his part was just right.

The story did the little things too. We had most, if not all, of the Christmas traditions like hot chocolate and decorating. The story gave us the heart felt emotions of a man who finds again the Christmas that his late mom loved, and the woman who finds again what home is. And just when we thought there would be no surprise, we get that too (if the TV previews didn't give it away) and the story teller presented that well too, including a sweet little speech.

I'm sure that there will be those who find this movie too sappy, or too much by formula, or too something. But this is a Hallmark Christmas romance movie. Sit down and expect just that and then watch as the story unfolds sweetly using all the little things of Christmas tradition and love.

What was wrong about this movie was that the idea of having to cut down that tree was wrong to begin with. They were trying to justify it by saying that in the end the wood will be in good use, but her persistance on cutting it down even though it was not only beautiful, but also had historical and sentimental value to the family, was ridiculous. Plus, it was obvious where this one was going. But, at least, the ending was okay.

GENERALLY.....these movies are "feel good" movies and in this spirit, I would say that it came across very well.....story line was good and of course....girl meets boy......all in all ,good movie to watch with ypur boo.

I really loved this film, its probably one of my favourite Christmas films. I genuinely cannot wait to watch it again.

I don't know if it's because I'm so used to him from Buffy The Vampire Slayer, but I really find Marc Blucas a natural in these rolls. Why Buffy would ever dump such a gorgeous guy I don't know? He even makes goofy Christmas sweaters look good, despite playing a bit of a Grinch.

This film, not just thanks to Marc I add, is really cute. The kid is a sweetheart and the situation, although it has been done before in various guises, is a good one. It's full of festive cheer and fun activities and revolves around a giant Christmas tree. I really like it.

A real positive vibe to keep you in the mood at the best time of year.
