🎄 Merry *Mark the 25th*! 🎄
Happy February 25th, Everyone! Are YOU counting down to Christmas with us? Sure... it's a bit early for that, but if you've been following *It's a Wonderful Movie* for awhile then you know on each 25th day of the month we highlight the day as we Countdown to Christmas! February 25th marks 10 months until December 25th, Christmas day!
If you'd like to join along to celebrate the day - all you have to do is choose something Christmassy to watch TODAY! It can be a Christmas movie, cartoon, family sitcom or anything you like. (There's only one stipulation - it must be family friendly.) Then, please share in comments below your Christmas choice for the day!
Since Hallmark Movies & Mysteries is playing their weekly Christmas movie on the 25th and because I happen to love this Christmas movie, I am choosing my pick to *Mark the 25th"...
Starring: Jill Wagner and Lucas Bryant
Storyline via Hallmark: A writer (Jill Wagner) seeks the identity of the person who helps grant wishes that are placed upon the angel tree, and in the process, reconnects with her childhood friend (Lucas Bryant).
My Review of "The Angel Tree":
There is something so pure and inspiring about this delightful story of giving. Immediately you find yourself caught up in the mystery of who the unidentified "angel" could be - who delivers gifts and grants wishes to their community each Christmas, based on the wishes placed at the town's outdoor Angel Tree. I personally loved the connection Jill Wagner and Lucas Bryant shared, they easily flowed together on screen and appeared to be friends from long ago, just like their characters - Rebecca McBride and Matthew Anderson. I loved Matthew's coffee shop, and the fact that his nephew, Owen, helped him out there. It was also sweet that Owen was staying with his Uncle as his mother was serving in the military. Throughout the movie, it was clever how Matthew and Owen kept coming up with cute names for various coffee flavors, but best of all... it was most fun to watch Rebecca (Jill Wagner) try to figure out who Angel is - so she can write an important article. I loved the magic, mystery, and wonder of it all!

Joyous Blessings to You All! Net
I’ll watch Angel tree too! Jill is my favorite actress on Hallmark, along with Lacey and Candace!
ReplyDeleteNet, you know I will be watching The Angel Tree. Never tire of watching this! Your review was "spot on" Net. Everything about this movie touched my heart. Loved the entire cast! Lucas and Jill convinced me they had been friends forever. Love Lucas Bryant! Love Jill Wagner!
ReplyDeleteYep, I'll be watching The Angel Tree too - Jill Wagner is one of my favorite Hallmark actresses as well! In fact, I'm thinking afterwards I just might watch Maggie's Christmas Miracle (my favorite of her Christmas movies, although it is hard to choose) and make it a double-feature tonight!
ReplyDeleteI'm very much a minority on this.
ReplyDeleteSince Jill Wagner is my #1 favourite Hallmark actress and I've been a big fan of Lucas Bryant since he played the oh-so-laid-back Tom Novak in Tulips In Spring on paper this should have been my #1 Christmas movie.
I just couldn't get into it at all, felt it was slow moving and pretty obvious from the start who "Angel" was.
Looking forward to these.

I have to wait until next year to watch this again or I'll be the weird one...
ReplyDeleteUgh!! I completely did NOT realize today was the 25th!! I really wanted to watch The Angel Tree again. I love the lead actors and I liked this movie back in December, yet it wasn't a "keeper" movie for me and I don't remember why. I wanted to watch it again just to see if maybe I might like it better this time. Unfortunately, I did not log on to this site early enough and now I've missed the first hour of the movie... ugh. Oh well, hopefully I'll catch it next time.

So, I missed The Angel Tree but I did get to watch a Christmas movie on the 25th. I watched The Christmas Doctor (for the first time). Just like about everyone else on here, I loved it!! Keeper. Family friendly.

Would love to see the rest of the Mystery Woman series on dvd. Also, Picture Perfect Mysteries. Hoping Hallmark releases some more Christmas movies like Return to Christmas Creek, On the Twelfth Day of Christmas, Window Wonderland, Christmas Cottage and Mingle All the Way. Also, Thanksgiving House and Love in Paradise and a lot of the new Christmas movies. Would love One Royal Holiday, On the Twelfth Date of Christmas, Christmas Bow, Christmas Ring, Christmas Doctor, Little Christmas Charm and Deliver by Christmas. Glad to see Taking a Shot at Love will be out in May.
ReplyDeleteI would like to see The Christmas Doctor and Christmas in Vienna on DVD probably also Cranberry Christmas and Christmas Tree Lane.
