As fan of Tatyana Ali from the "Fresh Prince of Bel Air" days, I recently watched "Dear Secret Santa" on Lifetime. I was not disappointed. This is one of the best Christmas TV movies I've ever seen. Tatyana Ali plays a business woman who has to go home to take care of her dad during the holidays. Jordin Sparks from American Idol plays her best friend, a real estate agent, who she asks to help sell her father's house. While visiting, our heroine starts getting cards from a secret admirer. Before all is done, we've explored grief, faith, magic, wormholes, and time travel. Della Reese is a hoot as a science expert! My wife couldn't get through this movie without crying. Definitely check this one out.
BEWARE OF FALSE REVIEWS & REVIEWERS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW TO THEIR NAME. NOW WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE MOVIE. IF ITS A NEGATIVE REVIEW THEN THEY MIGHT HAVE A GRUDGE AGAINST THE FILM . I HAVE REVIEWED 400 FILMS WITH NO AGENDA!
Now I did not see "The Lake House" and I never will. I saw this film because I am a sucker for a "Christmas Film" and just like Santa this film delivers. I went into this film not knowing what is was about. After I was done I saw people said this is a rip-off of "The Lake House" (and it could well be) however this film it least has a cast that can act. (The Lake House Not SO Much)
In this film a young woman returns home because her father lives alone and just took a tumble putting up Christmas lights. The woman who is single makes a "Christmas Wish" to find true love a Christmas and she does.
To tell you much more would be a crime. However a bigger crime would be for Hallmark Channel to bypass Tatiana Ali when they make their new round of Christmas movies! She is a delight! She carried the film with ease! I look forward to see what she does next.

Absolutely love this film, such a lovely story. Not your typical boy meets girl or girl/boy has a massive promotion coming up and they put they're life on hold. This is a beautiful story about life and death but without it being too sad. But yes I did shed a year 😂
Let's be honest T Ali is not top billed material, but I like her and dug her TV show, so figured I would come out and support. When I saw Bill Cobbs, E Hudson and Larmorne, I figured it would be entertaining to say the least.
This movie was dry, humorless and ended up being a weak attempt to siphon from The Lake House.
This movie was a major waste of talent and example of why more Afrocentric material isn't produced. Anyone attached to this movie should be embarrassed and I'll never understand how a script like this gets green-lit and a director continued to work.
1 star is generous, this is doo doo to the 12th degree.

Hopefully time warping and worm holes really do exist, so I can get back the 2 hrs. I wasted, watching this one. If ya really want to see the best, check out Three Wishes! Now THAT is how a classic movie ends!!!

- TriviaAll entries contain spoilers
- GoofsIn the opening scene Jennifer is talking to a client on the phone and is discussing the price of a commodity. She mentions a trading price of 40 and that it should be double that. Then she says next week it could be double digits. She should have said triple digits because it is already trading in the double digits which is anything between 10 and 99.
