This is a gorgeous, magical Christmas movie with delightful characters set in lovely Scotland. And bonus! It's not one of those factory produced, typical Christmas films with the same boring plot! It's got romance and humor, drama, reindeer and plenty of storyline to keep you interested and warm and fuzzy inside. Loved Ashely Newbrough and James Robinson as the leads, and loved the actors who played the kids in the subplot which really moves the story along and gave it extra layers. Layla Burns who is also in Outlander plays a darling and feisty red headed rugby player, and Jake Satow from The Dropout plays a charming and heartfelt kid who tries to help her start a girls rugby team. Louis Emerick from Brookside is fabulous as the grumpy coach and Joanne Randle is so funny as the cheeky Aunt Edina. This movie has Christmas magic from start to finish, and the traditional ceilidh dance and end song truly top it off! The scenery and locations are beautiful throughout and make you want to go there. The musical score is also really great. Beautifully filmed. This is one to watch every year by a cozy fire with a warm beverage in hand.
