    Standard Hallmark holiday movie, pleasant entertainment.

    Hallmark movies are pleasant and entertaining because they all have similar themes. In this one two attractive and single 40-ish people, a lady and a man, meet when the man's 10-yr-old daughter gets involved in the "Christmas Wish" festivities. They get attracted to each other, something gets in the way, but before the movie ends they work to achieve a resolution. And everyone lives happily ever after.

    My wife and I enjoyed it at home on DVD from our public library, just a basic DVD, no previews, no language selections, no subtitles, no extras. Which is fine for this type of movie, not much different from watching it on broadcast TV except with no commercials.

    My curious observation, in movies years ago the parents of adults were mostly depicted as older people, sometimes older than they needed to be. In this movie the parents of the 40-ish characters don't seem much older, more like 15 years or so older. Curious casting.

    Cute and worth the watch

    This one starts out with a Meet Cute that is anything but. In what Hallmark seems to insist, the Hero is a jerk to the Heroine the first time they meet, for no apparent reason. But of course, they wind up having to spend an inordinate amount of time together, and she realizes his cranky veneer is merely masking the pain he feels from a great personal tragedy. Inevitably, they fall in love and everything works out for everyone. A little predictable, but Amanda Schull's performance in particular was enjoyable and lifted this above many of the others in the Hallmark library.

    I need to build me one of those gingerbread houses...

    I liked this Hallmark Christmas movie. It was a pleasant surprise, as I didn't know what to expect going into this one. The story revolves around Lucy (played by Amanda Schull), who has been granting wishes for her community for years, and who 'believes in the power of a wish'. This year's Project Christmas Wish of the season is from a little girl named Max who simply wants Christmas to 'be like it used to be' for her and her father Lucas (our other protagonist in this story, played by Travis Van Winkle). As Lucy goes about granting Max's Christmas wish(es), she and Lucas begin to develop a connection, a relationship, which gets Lucy thinking about her wishes in life. As another reviewer here has pointed out, the storyline in this one is like another of this year's Hallmark premieres, The Angel Tree. Likewise, this movie had a sweet and warm feel to it. Moreover, the story is an engaging one and pulls on all the right strings from Max's touching wish to Lucy's heartwarming nature. I found myself pulled in from the start. The script also has some pretty good dialogue between Lucy and Lucas, though it never goes too deep, which I thought worked well here. There is also some appealing banter between the two early in the film, which I enjoyed. I even had a couple of chuckles to boot. What makes all this work, of course, is the acting, which was, overall, brilliant. Schull had a very convincing performance, which I found easy to connect with from the start. Van Winkle too had a great performance. I did not know what to expect, as the last time I saw him on screen was in the Friday the 13th reboot 10 years ago. As others here have pointed out, the chemistry between the two was great; it was quite convincing on screen, I felt. The supporting cast was strong. For example, Averie Peters makes her debut in this one with a lovely performance as Max (a very cute speech at the end, e.g.). Finally, the scenery, props, and sets were charming and festive. The movie too had a nice Christmas atmosphere to it with the usual Christmas activities. This included the building of a very large gingerbread house for Max, while we got to listen to a song from Love Actually (the one Bill Nighy sang as Billy Mack, the former rock star trying to make a comeback in his old age). All in all, it was a wonderful way to end Hallmark's Movies & Mysteries 2020 Christmas season. I highly recommend it.

    This is one of the sweetest, most romantic stories that I have seen on Hallmark.

    Omg! This has got to be one of the sweetest Hallmark Christmas movies I have ever seen. Lucy is the head of the small town of Elmherst's Project Christmas Wish. I love the motivation behind her wanting to be behind Project Christmas Wish...someone in the town when her and her widowed mom were down on their luck at Christmas made her childhood wish come true. Lucy's dream is to do that for others.

    Lucy is sweet, beautiful and selflessly helps others achieve happiness...enter a little girl who lost her mom and her wish was about having a Christmas like they used to have when her mom was alive. She reallly just wants her widowed dad to be happy.

    "What you have to give is you and that is very special."-Christmas Dad Lucas

    ""The infamous Elmhurst Christmas horse, I mean I still don't understand it based on my logic based brain, but I understand the sentiment."-Lucas

    "I was going for strong independent elf ready to get back out there."-Lucy's mom

    The witty interchanges between Lucy and Lucas are what roped me in...but the humor, generosity, chemistry and love are what kept me watching. These two are both attractive in their own right and together Lucy and Lucas are magical.

    I don't know if I have drunk the Christmas nog or not, but I loved this film. I laughed, I cried...I was filled with love and the Christmas spirit. I feel like whipping up a batch of egg nog and decking the halls right now.

    Thanks for the warm fuzzy, Hallmark!
