As Lisa charms a local contractor named Kevin (Deklin) into working with her, the pair find themselves facing one surprise after another as they restore the store to its former glory. When the staff at the Kringle Kitchen temporarily accept the store’s beloved ‘Mailbox to Santa’ for safekeeping, the townspeople find and rally around a mysterious 25-year-old letter that never made it to the North Pole. As old traditions are made new again, Lisa finds herself falling for Kevin, the traditions, and the town of Evergreen.

Where's Charlie? His match with Hannah whose both wore same sweaters in first movie: "Christmas in Evergreen"
ReplyDeleteLooking forward and excited to watch this one. Jill Wagner is the most versatile of all the Hallmark actresses. Regardless of whom her co-star, she is sooooo good. I hope the movie focused on her and not the previous actress (Ashley Williams) who happened to be too perky and not my cup of tea. Ashley is sometimes too annoying.
ReplyDeleteThank you Net for what you do.
Agreed 1000%. All movies with Jill Wagner in it topped them all.
DeleteDITTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jill Wagner is the BEST!
DeleteThis was SO good! Even better than the first. I really enjoy the majority of Hallmark Christmas movies, especially so far this year, but every now and then there's one that's extra special that makes me go, "Oh wow! I LOVE this!" This was one of those for me. Definitely my favorite of the season so far. Had me laughing and grinning and crying and then crying while grinning. :-)
ReplyDeleteJill Wagner and Mark Deklin were fantastic together! Loved the touch of mystery to the story and the little surprises at the end that I didn't foresee. It was just chock full of heart and fun and Christmas cheer. I love, love, LOVED it! (Just in case that wasn't clear, haha!) :D
I really enjoyed a sequel set in the same town with a different storyline and main actors. I thought it was a great way to do a sequel, kept it fresh! I did enjoy the cameo with Ashley Williams at the end, it tied it together well with the first movie.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed it! Great, great storyline and very well written. The chemistry between the leads was wonderful. Jill Wagner is such a great actress. She just keep getting better and better. I also liked Ashley Williams appearing at the end, such a nice surprise! Here's to hoping there will be more "Evergreen" series!
