Yes this story is absolutely ridiculous. In fact, I thought it went even beyond most of the other stories of this type. But that doesn't mean it isn't fun to watch.
Jules and her niece and nephew have had a heartbreaking struggle in the loss of her sister and their parents. But we get to see the wonder of children living the fairy tale at Christmas. Leilah de Meza is totally cute as the little girl who doesn't care that her grandpa is a duke. She even overlooks his grumpiness and just loves him.
There are some silly but fun scenes as the common folk meet the stiff royalty and sometimes try to loosen them up.

This is truly a modern fairy tale...and I watch it every Christmas season...
The actors are believable and the scenery and locations are stunning.
The added bonus is Sam Heaughan as the Prince...I truly was agog....and it was rather cool to see a former James Bond...acting opposite a very strong front runner for the next James Bond...

Wonderful movie.
How about seeing Sir Roger Moore in one of his last roles and Outlander star Sam Heughan (perhaps the new Bond after Craig) in one movie.
I like all kinda movies, as long as they're well executed. And this one is just a fun movie to see.
Check it out when you get the chance.

It was predictable but nevertheless a fairly good movie. The worse part of the movie was the actor playing Milo. He couldn't have been worse in his over acting and bad casting for the part. Much in the genre of 'A Crown for Christmas '.
I watch this movie every Christmas and it never disappoints! It's fun and light-hearted. The Christmas decorations are beautiful and the castle is gorgeous! It has great leads and a nice story.
Overall, it's a great Christmas movie to watch for the holidays.

- TriviaWhen Jules is fixing Milo's tie for the ball, she comments "Oh 007, eat your heart out." Roger Moore (Duke Edward) played James Bond in seven movies.
- GoofsAlthough Jules (Irish), Maddie (English) and Milo (Canadian) are portraying Americans, there are several times you hear their native accents slip, typically when they're upset. Most notably when Maddie says "he can stay with us!".

Jules Daly: I thought butlers were extinct.
Paisley Winterbottom: Oh, no. We've made a comeback. P. Diddy has three.
