Maggie would love to deny she feels anything for him still, but Jaxson isn’t making it easy. She’ll have to face her decisions of the past, along with Amanda eyeing Jaxson, to bring together the perfect matches at Christmas. Matchmaker Christmas is produced by Candlelight Media Group.

Not my favorite, but still a cute movie. If I recall correctly, it was basically family-friendly (which is saying a lot, since Lifetime is, overall, nosediving on it's family-friendly, traditional values!).

Really enjoyed this movie. As Jane mentioned, it is family-friendly with nothing objectionable that I could see. I thought Emily Rose and Cory Sevier had good chemistry and worked well together. I liked the supporting characters too and it was fun to see who Amanda would end up with.(I really like Marvin – I had hoped that he would find someone too!) And one thing I really loved was that the main character was modest in her apparel! That is certainly a rarity (even among Hallmark sometimes!)! Even at the end, during a Christmas party, her dress had her covered up – she wore a shawl over what I assume is a strapless dress. (Some other characters wore sleeveless dresses during the film.) And did anyone else notice that Amanda and Marvin were drinking water on their date? I loved this! It made me so happy. :)
