This was a Lifetime Christmas movie in 2015. Gabe Hogan (Heartland's Peter) and Hilarie Burton were a good pair for the leads and the little girl was adorable. They did a good job in matching the pair. The interaction of Hogan and the little girl was well done. Burton was in Christmas in the Bayou-2013 and I thought the black hair and outfits made her look better here. Great to see Jayne Eastwood playing a rather different kind of Mrs Claus (we've seen her in many shows and she's always good). Yes I spotted Derek McGrath (Dr Hebert on Doc) as Santa. Two elves and a pilot provided some great humor. There was not really a dull moment in this movie. Really didn't think the movie would be this good. It was funny in parts as well, even though it was not listed as a Comedy. Enjoyed the reindeer.
Here are a few criticisms. This is supposed to be taking place in Alaska at Christmas. I have never been there, but isn't daylight kind of scarce that time of year? We had lots of daylight in this movie. Yes, the great reindeer preserve is a small pen of 12 reindeer you feed a handful of hay to. It was OK though.

I love me some Hilarie Burton which is the only reason I suffered through this entire movie but nit even she could save this. It was pretty bad but the nail in the coffin was Mrs. Claus. SHE STOLE A REINDEER! Mrs. Claus isn't supposed to act the way this one did. No, thank you. Lifetime usually hits it out of the park but this was a huge miss for me.
Absolutely!!!!!!!! Loved this movie 🎥 🎥🎥🎥🎥 such a super sweet special film ....... We have watched several times ! Awesome cast ....
Great plot ..... Tim Matheson , Gabriel Hogan, and Dereck McGraft is always my favorite Actors to watch .... Entire cast was high energy, sincere and actually you thought Santa and flying reindeer actually exist ...
And there was a actual Mr. & Mrs. Santa Clause..
My next winter vacation will be based on seeing this movie - to visit actual Reindeer Farm.
Beautiful- nice wholesome sweet with a Little Love 💗 Movie. Suggle up by a fire 🔥 and enjoy a great couple of hours.

Right, well needless to say that I had never heard about the 2015 movie "Last Chance for Christmas", from writers Mike Bell and Gary Yates, with the latter also directing the movie. Still, I opted to sit down and watch the movie, as part of this years Christmas movie marathon throughout the month of December.
I have to say that I essentially just figured that I would be in for a standard generic sappy Christmas movie, as I sat down to watch "Last Chance for Christmas", given the movie's cover. Yeah, I know, you can't judge a book (or a movie) by it's cover, but it just seemed like an archetypical sappy Christmas movie, but still, I opted to give the movie a fair chance.
The writers actually put together a fair enough script, as it proved to be entertaining, although somewhat generic and predictable, for sure. But I was actually fairly entertained throughout the course of the 87 minutes that the movie ran for, and isn't that the sole purpose of watching a movie?
The only performer on the cast list that I was familiar with was Tim Matheson. Regardless, I will say that the acting performances in the movie were fair.
Watchable, for certain, however I think diehard fans of the sappy Christmas movies will enjoy "Last Chance for Christmas" far more than I did.
My rating of director Gary Yates's 2015 movie "Last Chance for Christmas" lands on a five out of ten stars.

Hallmark has sold out. Apparently mean spiritedness has made its way to Mrs Clause in this cultural cliche which includes an otherwise well intentioned cast. ( they could've cut out her storyline all together and it would've been your typical sweet holiday hallmark love story) Mrs. Santa Claus suggests that her stableman "do anything" to replace one of the ailing reindeer which leads to stealing a reindeer from a girl and her single mom. I turned it off after the kidnapping figuring that the best possible is that Mrs. Clause apologizes for her very bad behavior in the end. Personally, I can get that plot line every night on the evening news! I think I'll sit out this season.
