The little boy in this movie is adorable!

That's Christian Convery! He also starred in the Hallmark Channel movie, "Hearts of Spring". Did anyone else notice that his character's name in "My Christmas Dream" (Cooper) sounds similar to his character's name in "Hearts of Spring" (Connor)?
DeleteMisty -- He is adorable, and he is in another Hallmark Christmas movie this year too! He is very busy! He will also be appearing in the Alicia Witt/Gabriel Hogan movie, "Christmas List."
DeleteThanks for the info! Guess everyone agrees how cute he is. LOL!
DeleteMisty
Cooper has melted my heart.He's adorable....
DeleteI hope this will be a good one, esp coming from Danica McKellat! I haven't seen any new Christmas movie I truly like from a Hallmark this year :-/
ReplyDeleteFavorite scene with Christina - Being told that her Display is not right for the Store.
ReplyDeleteFavorite scene with Kurt - Being fired.
Favorite scene with Christina and Kurt together - Final Goodbyes and the Paris painting.
I agree! Cooper stole the show. Unlike in the Crown for Christmas, Danica was just ok in this movie.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the last song in the hallmark movie "My Christmas Dream"?
ReplyDeleteI really feel the quality of these movies has gone down this year. Way too many movies being churned out! I almost feel like a lot of these actors and actresses are 'just mailing it in'. My husband and I are huge fans of the Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movies and Mysteries and we have both been extremely disappointed in the holiday movie offerings this year. So far, we only liked 'Love Always Santa' and 'Christmas Cookies'. We did enjoy 'Finding Father Christmas' but thought the ending, while sweet, was not realistic. I have to say, though, the cast of 'Signed, Sealed, Delivered' hit it 'out of the ballpark' this year. Especially the last movie that aired in September. I balled like a baby! I truly love those movies with every part of my being. Always very touching and moving.
ReplyDeleteI agree. I've been so disappointed with all the Hallmark Christmas movies so far. I haven't watched "Love Always, Santa" and none of the rest of Hallmark's offerings stood out for me. Some of them are just not very well made. The connection between the leads sometimes feel unnatural. The storylines are often repetitive, which I know is the case for most Hallmark movies, but all the christmas movies have been truly disappointing.
DeleteI've been just rewatching some of the great past Christmas movies like "Snow Bride", "Nine Lives of Christmas", and "Love at the Thanksgiving Parade". Why can't Hallmark make movies like those anymore? Those movies have great chemistry between the leads with realistic and natural connection, not forced, and great writing & dialogues.
With that said, My Christmas Dream was just alright for me. I felt that Danica's character seemed a bit too frazzled most of the time. Cooper was wonderful though! He was the one who made the show for me and got me through finishing it!
Check out the ones on UP and ION this year
DeleteI love Danica McKellar, she’s always adorable and super cute. Unfortunately for her (and us!), the movie was a predictable silly mashup of already seen films with the bad addition of the most ANNOYING assistant manager ever!

ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know the song at the end of the movie and who is singing it?
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing You're All I Want For Christmas" by Casey Shea.
DeleteCasey shea. You're all I want for Christmas.
DeleteYES! Bravo!!!! You can play it on youtube, https://youtu.be/OKiJ9COU4ng
DeleteI have the same question. Haven't been able to find it.
ReplyDeleteThis is Jan 1 2018 I have watched this movie many times looking for Danica's real son and her mom. She mentioned it on Hallmark they are always in her movies. I have seen them in the other movies but not this one???
ReplyDeleteWow, this article is good, my sister is analyzing these things, so I am going to tell her.
