PLOT:
via Marvista Entertainment:
Elise MacReynolds is no fan of Christmas. Growing up on a tree farm meant every holiday was spent selling Christmas trees on a cold street corner. But when she loses her job and her dad breaks his leg, Elise agrees to run the family tree stand for one last season. Unfortunately for Elise, the family business that has always hosted the MacReynolds' Farms tree lot has been acquired by home decor conglomerate Brook Glen Elise gets off on the wrong foot with surly Brook Glen CEO Gary Dixon when she almost knocks him down while unloading a big tree. Gary thinks the trees are bad for business and sets in motion a plan to get rid of the lot, for good. Despite her battles with Gary, Elise finds herself catching the holiday spirit as she helps the denizens of NYC find their one perfect tree: Everyone from a baby-on-the-way couple, to a professional basketball team, to a young boy picking out his first tree. Christmas also proves to be the season for romance when charming repeat customer Darren admits he's been buying trees simply in the hopes of talking to Elise. But when Gary convinces the NYFD to impound the trees and shut down the lot, Elise must find a way to crack his scrooge exterior and make up for lost time. Can Elise pull off a Christmas Eve miracle in time to save the family business? With help from her new beau, family, friends and customers, and a little holiday magic, she just may have a shot.

Yay! Looks cute - perhaps it'll release to DVD this season given it has a "poster." Love that Hallmark has upped their number of movies each season.
ReplyDeleteYes, cannot wait to see, seems really cute! Would be nice to purchase on DVD. 12 Dates of Christmas was wonderful too watch last Christmas. Another cute one!
DeleteI agree, Rissi! Hallmark is "the best" at new Christmas Movies on TV! Hope it comes to DVD soon for you.
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love Hallmark. Their Christmas movies are by far my favorite out of all the channel's that air their own original films.
ReplyDeleteSo True, Kristin! Hallmark is an expert at creating great Christmas Movies!
DeleteLove their Christmas movies! Hoping that they air The 12 Dates of Christmas movie again. was really a wonderful movie!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I love "12 Dates", too! It's actually an ABC Family film, though... but super fun!!!
DeleteLove your site thanks for keeping us updated
ReplyDeleteMy Pleasure! Enjoy!!!
DeleteEric Johnson's acting talents were wasted with this movie - was a fan of his from the moment I saw him in the Mrs. Miracle movie as the store owners son. I'll watch it again - maybe something I missed the first time will light the fire to see it again
ReplyDeleteEric Johnson was unconvincing. In my view, very apparent lack of spark between him and the leading lady.
ReplyDeleteRewatched this incredible movie on DVD, it's always on my yearly rewatch list. :) -Maria
