PLOT - Wrapped Up in Christmas:
Storyline via Lifetime: Christmas is one of Heather’s (Tatyana Ali, "Fresh Prince of Bel Air") favorite times of year but this year, as the manager of the upscale Town Center Mall, she has to be the Christmas Grinch and cancel the leases of under-performing stores. One afternoon, Heather’s niece, Molly asks the mall Santa to help find a boyfriend for her beloved aunt. Unbeknownst to Molly and Heather, “Santa” is actually Ryan (Brendan Fehr, "Guardians of the Galaxy"), who is working at the mall for the holidays and helping his Aunt Patty run her failing toy store. As Heather and Ryan begin to fall for each other, they have no idea of one another's true identity: Heather who is tasked with closing his aunt's store and Ryan who is too ashamed to tell Heather that he is the actually the mall Santa. Will Molly's Christmas wish come true, or will Heather be stuck as the Town Center Grinch?

ReplyDeleteMisty

ReplyDeleteI loved this Christmas movie it was so romantic I hope the rest are this good
ReplyDeleteThis was such a good one! I think it may be my favorite of the season. The mini movie was really cute, too!
ReplyDeleteThe city was so beautiful--I kept wondering where it was, thanks to Unknown for telling me. It was a warm-hearted movie--like Christmas!
ReplyDeleteFor my family. It was gratifying to watch this Lifetime Christmas movie. Wonderful balance cast. Nice to see Tatyana again. Dear Secret Santa is a favorite.
ReplyDeleteWho sings "I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day" in this movie. It was a beautiful version.
ReplyDeleteWho sings "I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day" in this movie. It was a beautiful version.
ReplyDeleteI agree! What a beautiful version of the song!!! I wish the vocalist would publish it on YouTube or iTunes so I could download it!! No one else comes close !!!
DeleteTatyana Ali sings “Heard the Bells” and “Wrapped Up on Christmas”. Sometimes Hybrid releases albums for their movies but sometimes not. They did release an album for Dear Secert Santa which Tatyana sang on as well. You can buy Wrapped up on Christmas on iTunes for $5. Hope that helps!
DeleteI need to know who sings bells on christmas also???
ReplyDeleteRIGHT!!!:)
ReplyDeleteI also want to know this answer. I tried to Shazam it, but it didn't recognize it.
ReplyDeleteIt's Tatyana singing it, but it doesn't look like Lifetime made it available for release.
DeleteCasting Crowns recorded this version of the song. It's sang by a male, but still has the same sound.
DeleteYes, I want to know too. I tried to Shazam it and it didn't recognize the song. ��
ReplyDeleteIt was actually Tatyana Ali! Really beautiful cover. I hope they’ll make it available to download.
ReplyDeleteThis movie was ok, but its overall pacing was slower than other Christmas movies I’ve seen so far. Also, some scenes were unnecessarily longer than others. However, I thought that Princess K. Mapp (who portrayed Heather’s niece, Molly) was the standout performer in this film! Tatyana Ali’s version of “Heard the Bells” was the highlight of this movie! I hope that her singing can be featured in other movies in the future, maybe even Hallmark.
ReplyDeleteGive us the soundtrack for the movie Wrapped up in Christmas PLEASE!!!
