The Sweetest Christmas - a Hallmark Channel Original "Countdown to Christmas" Movie starring

MOVIE REVIEW

Movie: The Sweetest Christmas

Network: Hallmark Channel

Original Air Date: November 11, 2017

CAST:

Lacey Chabert ... Kylie Watson
Lea Coco ... Nick
Jonathan Adams ... Ralphie
Lara Gilchrist ... Tina
Ava Grace Cooper ... Hannah
Jill Morrison ... Michelle
Lane Edwards ... Alex
Christie-Lee Britten ... Hostess
Sarah Porchetta ... Pretty Woman
Brenda Crichlow ... Judge Linda

Mar Andersons ... Tom
Corina Akeson ... Ina
Brenden Sunderland ... Bobby
Sophia Reid-Gantzert ... Harper
Pia Shandel ... Older Woman
Peter Brown ... Shopper
Celeste White Steele ... Trattoria Guest

PLOT:

Storyline via Hallmark: When struggling pastry chef Kylie Watson (Chabert) learns she’s made it to the finals of the American Gingerbread Competition, she thinks her competitive spirit has finally paid off and hopes the publicity will help her jumpstart her new café. There’s just one problem — the oven she’s supposed to use breaks down right before the contest. Determined to enter, she reaches out to Nick Mazannti (Coco), her old boyfriend from culinary school who gave up his dream of being a pastry chef to take over his family’s pizzeria. Nick allows her to use his industrial pizza oven at night to craft her ambitious gingerbread confections. As the two reminisce about the dreams of their youth, their romance is rekindled. But just as Kylie is on the cusp of taking the grand prize — and embracing true love — things get complicated when her ex-boyfriend takes drastic steps to win her back. Kylie realizes she must embrace the Christmas Spirit or risk losing both the contest and her new love.

Movie Review:

From the gingerbread creations to Lacey Chabert, this movie is, indeed, very Sweet!

In “The Sweetest Christmas “ Lacey portrays Kylie Watson, a young woman who is determined to win this year’s Gingerbread Competition - so she can win the prize money and potentially open her own bakery. In the meantime, her current office job is a means to an end, and her boss/boyfriend takes her completely for granted. When Kylie is nearly convinced he just might care about her more than work, he proposes, not marriage, but a higher employment position. To make matters even worse, this all takes place at her ex-boyfriend, Nick’s, restaurant.

With the gingerbread competition looming, Kylie focuses on that, but when her sister’s oven becomes unusable, Kylie must find a location to bake her gingerbread and create her masterpiece. Will Nick open up his restaurant and possibly his heart once again to Kylie?

I think this sweet Hallmark Happy Ending will leave you feeling full and satisfied!

The announcement was made by Doug Butts, SVP of Programming at INSP.

“We are very pleased with the way audiences have responded to the first season of The Cowboy Way: Alabama,” said Butts. “Our viewers have embraced the charm and authenticity of these hard-working cowboys. Whether roping cattle or attending a diaper class, their passion for the cowboy way of life is genuine, rugged and refreshing. Season 1 resonated strongly with audiences, and we are confident they will find season 2 even more engaging.”

The Cowboy Way: Alabama depicts the reality of cowboy life, from brutally long hours and uncertain income to the challenges of balancing family life against the demands of a growing business. Driven by a strong work ethic and the business acumen needed to be successful ranchers, these three cowboys: Bubba Thompson - rancher & expert carpenter; Cody Harris - rodeo champion & cattle dealer; and, Chris "Booger” Brown – cattleman & gifted horse trainer; live according to an old-fashioned cowboy code as they build their modern day cattle business in South Alabama.

The 2nd season of The Cowboy Way: Alabama will premiere on INSP on Thursday, January 4th at 8:00PM ET.

The Cowboy Way: Alabama is produced for INSP by Glassman Media.
