La destination de Noël

Emma (Natasha Wilson) works for a Chicago toy manufacturer. Since the Christmas season drives their marketing throughout the year, she is ready for a change of pace when the holiday season rolls around. She decides to get away for the holidays, but a mistake in travel plans only thrusts her deeper into Christmas festivities when she is temporarily forced to board in a Christmas-themed inn.

This Lifetime holiday romance provides few surprises. Emma meets Connor (Edward Ruttle), who endeavors to renew her holiday spirit. But he has a secret that might affect her growing feelings for him. Ruttle plays his part well, providing most of the humor.

The story is corny and awkward. There are continuity problems with Emma's character; she seems to change moods somewhat randomly.

FASTASTIC WATCH!! Saw this on lifetime yesterday and was very impressed! The title lured me in so I thought I would give it a watch and was much better than anticipated. It's the type of film you would put the fire on for, get a nice glass of hot chocolate and laugh the night away with some decent one liners. Both the Actors were especially good throughout the entirety of the movie at delivering a very good story line, who knew there was a St. John's Alaska! Makes me want to go out there and see if it's anytime like it is in this movie! Overall, thoroughly impressed with the film and would watch again.

-12 degree weather, supposedly stuck there because of a snowstorm, and they're sitting outside on a park bench coat undone drinking hot chocolate, NO gloves! The director has to come up with a better pretext for this story, no plane available, no pilot, etc. That fits the situation filming in Kamloops BC! What month did this happen, because you can't see their breath when they are speaking outdoors! There isn't much reality to the situation,& hubby decided to comment about the inaccuracies constantly! Gotta change TV channels or hubby very soon! Actress was pretty annoying as well! Won't be watching a second time, for sure!

Emma works for a toy company and it's tired of everything being Christmas oriented. Her assistant book her a vacation to St. John's and instead of going to the Caribbean for beach and sand she appears in St. John, Alaska. Up to that moment it's a nice movie, with nice premise and you expected the traditional Christmas movie plot.

Not going into spoilers, she is mean. As a main character she is whiny, arrogant and stubborn all over the movie, not just at the beginning and then have a change of heart. At one moment she's nice then she's whiny and rude again.

There's not way anyone can believe that Connor can fall in love with her, she just gave a very bad attitude all the movie.

I have to disagree with the bad review, I found the review pretty harsh... I found that the story was a delightful Christmas story, a bit different from the done and done again Hallmark typical movie. Let's be real, these movies are NEVER filmed in the winter, so if you are looking for real snow, or a characters breath when they are outside you will not find it. If you just want to watch a nice Christmas movie that finds a toy maker in Alaska not on a beach in the sun for her holiday and taking time to just slow down and re appreciate Christmas again, then watch it. I found it was delightful and easy to watch. Just enjoy it for what it is a Christmas movie where a person finds joy in a small town during Christmas.
