Un Noël plein d'espoir

Hallmark regular Candace Cameron Bure plays the part of Lauren Gabriel, a teacher who has accepted a new job in a new city. On her way there, she stops in the town of Grandon Falls and discovers some things she was not looking for. Through her father, she has a connection to this place known as "Christmas Town", and it will come full circle.

The plot of this holiday story is simple, but it touches on most of the values that Hallmark stands for: family, love, belonging, traditions, and making memories.

Cameron Bure feels at home in this tale of tinsel. The supporting cast helps create a town of goodwill from the writer's words.

The final shot looks like a Hallmark card. How perfect.

Cute Hallmark Christmas movie but full of plot holes. There were the issues with the cat and the issues with the angel that others have brought up. But the letters he obviously wrote before he died which means he either KNEW or felt strongly that he was dying. Which begs the question: He obviously spent a lot of time and energy on the letters even ensuring they would all be mailed at the appropriate time. Why didn't he spend any time on making provisions for his daughter so she didn't end up in foster care? My other complaint is about Gloria, the teacher who up and retires. I'm a teacher and I know you don't just make the decision one day. It requires preparation, an application and it can't be both "early " retirement and "it was time." Pick a lane. Oh and the idea of her being approved so quickly to adopt, especially during the holidays when everything slows down with no home visit is simply ludicrous.

One of the best yet of the season. Candace was believable and the story was heartwarming!

There is no Christmas on Hallmark without Candace Cameron Bure. And she has a better than average movie this year. Losing her parents when she was young a teacher finds herself in a small town for Christmas and like the town and takes to a foster kid. There is a romance too but it's the secondary thing in this movie for a change.

Candace Cameron Bure gave her best performance in this movie. She was a convincing character looking for more in life. Her life's challenges brought her to the perfect place with a special job to do to achieve a fulfilling life. The romantic lead of Tim Rozon was the exact balance to Bure's character. He was a striking, levelheaded man not the usual Hallmark hunks that are acting voids. Rozon's strong character and solid performance along with a caring Bure, makes you cheer for their characters Travis and Lauren to get it right. Dylan, Jesse Filkow, was the best young actor's performance this season. He was gutsy yet a kind and caring youth. The rest of the cast were superb.The setting of the town would make a Hallmark card proud. A terrific story presented in an even tone and does not over do it- A fine production. I will watch this movie again and it is now a Christmas favorite for years to come. A true Hallmark quality movie. Thank you.
