Really disappointed in Rachel Boston too opinionated too blunt her characters are usually great.I have always been a fan this one is a bust.Ralph Hughes as dad bad hair and so much smaller than his daughter.
Neal Bledsoe pretty good but should have been better with the beautiful Carousel scenery .really disappointing
Hallmark losing its edge other channels do so much better.
OoooFfff.. Painfully BAD. I'll be the first to admit I love a well done "royal" Christmas movie, and always look forward to them each year. They're hit or miss, and this one is realllllllllyyyyyyy a MISS. Rachel Boston is at the top of my "I wish they'd retire" list, and Neal Bledsoe is pretty hard to watch as well.
It seems like Hallmark was trying to emulate the "nostalgia" of A Godwink Christmas (with the carousel), and the sentiments of Christmas with a Prince (equally as bad... -maybe even worse). Like another said, this year has been a lame year for Hallmark. I'll take Quality of Quantity, too!!
There's basically nothing to spoil, since the story is predictable within the first 5 minutes.
The best royal movies, in my opinion will remain: A Princess for Christmas, Crown for Christmas, and A Royal Christmas.
Watch at your own risk.
*And Hallmark, should you read this...... PLEASE just STOP using the same tired actors and actresses. And for the love of ALL that is holy, -PLEASE get new writers, actors, costumes and locations!!!!
Had high hopes for this one, but gave up early because the dialogue was just too artificial. The artificial accent from the prince added to the difficulty. I see from another reviewer's comments that it apparently has a really good wrap up in terms of visual sequences, character closure, and plot resolution, which sounds just like what I was hoping for from this movie, but it was too off-putting right at the start for me to be able to get there.
A Christmas carousel highlights the importance of restoration of a valuable part of our history: carousels. Carousels are a real and true dying art. The back drop is a more typical hallmark love story...regular girl falls in love with a prince, he has obligations....yada yada yada, misunderstanding-misunderstanding, wish on a carousel wishing horse, the singing of The Coventry Carol....and wham! True Love/Happily Ever After!
One tiny complaint...male lead is handsome with a great voice, but some of his acting, particularly with his niece is a little over the top and hard to believe for a prince...even one with art training, unless he was trained at Barnum and Bailey.

This was poorly done. The acting was actually good but Bledsoe's fake accent was AWFUL, good thing it wasn't in 95% of the scenes......Oh wait. The sets were cheap and it showed, and the some of the wardrobe is ridiculous, and I'm not just talking about Bledsoe wearing children's size clothing. The dialogue was confused as if it was written by 2 different people, one of them terrible at it. When these little annoyances are nearly every single scene, it just becomes too much
Did you know
- TriviaLila's necklace appears and disappears multiple times during the time she is at the horse stables and carousel with the prince
- GoofsLila is seen hand-carving part of a wooden leg, with the piece resting on her knee. She is also looking away while digging into the piece. You don't have to be an expert of any kind to know how ridiculous and dangerous this is.
