love Sean Patrick Thomas, looking forward to this one
ReplyDeleteThis movie is so predictable. It's nice to see some friendly faces of color as well.
ReplyDeleteWho plays liam's mom
ReplyDeleteLiked this one. It always makes me laugh when people say how predictable one of these types of movies (E.g., ION, Hallmark holiday movies) is. Well...duh.😂
ReplyDeleteLiked the chemistry the lead couple had, and they were likeable.
*ION has another movie called "A Wedding for Christmas"...Did NOT find that female lead likeable at all.
The original "A Christmas Kiss" is still my favorite 😊☃️🧚❤️💋
Who plays Ava's father??
ReplyDeleteI know the filming location Santa’s Village near Lake Arrowhead.
ReplyDeleteYep, that's what I thought! I'm from Crestline.
DeleteWould like a copy of this movie for my hallmark collection
ReplyDeleteAre you sure it's not santa village in bracebridge Ontario
ReplyDeleteLoved the chemistry that the couple had from the very beginning.
ReplyDeleteI suspect the filming location was in Canada. Much less expensive than Arrowhead/Big Bear, CA.
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely Sky Park at Santa's Village, in California.
DeleteI agree.
ReplyDeleteThe view of the city scene is of Seattle.
ReplyDeleteAs a Seattleite, I've come to find out, since having internet lol, that most the movies that show the Space Needle and are supposedly based in Seattle are actually filmed somewhere in Canada as there's lots of green trees and beautiful landscaping like Washington.
