Movie Review:


Hallmark Channel’s “Northpole: Open for Christmas” will open your heart once again to all the magic and wonder of Christmas!

Starring in the 2nd film in the “Northpole” franchise: “Northpole: Open for Christmas”, is very likable Bailee Madison (of Hallmark’s “Pete’s Christmas”, “Smart Cookies”, etc...), who returns once again in the role of the ever refreshingly cheery, Elf Clementine, whose continuous Holiday mission is to spread the joy of Christmas wherever she goes!

Lori Loughlin (fan favorite from “When Calls the Heart”, “Garage Sale Mystery”, “Full House”, etc…) stars as Mackenzie Warren, a smart, driven estate appraiser for Carlisle’s Auction House in New York, on the fast track to climbing the business ladder, all the while not taking the time to live in one place for more than a year, or developing any lasting friendships, nor simply stopping to look at the snowflakes!

With a little help from Northpole, Santa, Clementine, and other undercover Elfs… things are about to change for Mackenzie, when she returns to the small town, where her Aunt Grace has left her the magical Northern Lights Inn she used to love visiting at Christmastime, as a child.

As a curator, Mackenzie is not used to developing any lasting sentimental attachment to ornate objects, so her plan is to visit the inn, access its value, and basically cut and run. At the realtor’s office, however, she meets Ian, (portrayed by actor Dermot Mulroney, My Best Friend's Wedding) a local handyman, who is immediately taken by Mackenzie’s knowledge of carpentry tools. He convinces Mackenzie to at least consider looking the place over before signing her name on the dotted line, and placing the Inn up for sale.

Persuaded, after all, to look the place over, Mackenzie sees the Inn once again, first through the eyes of her childhood... like nothing has ever changed, until reality sinks in, she looks closer and sees all the damage of years of it being left un-kept have done to the dear old place.

Will she cut her losses and return to her lonely life in the city, or will she turn to old and new friends… and find a practical, yet magical way to make it work?

“Northpole: Open for Christmas” is a delightful family adventure, an enchanting journey you will certainly not want to miss!!!

A sweet reminder to enjoy life, and stop and look at the snowflakes… because no 2 are alike!


See or Skip? see my opinion below...

See or Skip?:

'NORTHPOLE: Open for Christmas' is a Must See!!!

In the beginning... when she was appraising furniture and other household items, I couldn’t help from thinking of Lori Loughlin as the “Garage Sale Mystery” woman, but that thought quickly fades as her character becomes less involved with appraisal work, and more involved in life at the Inn and building relationships with the people there.

Casting...
Lori was certainly aptly casted in this strong, independent role, well known actor Dermot Mulroney was a refreshing new face for Hallmark, young actress Ava Telek (who was also in "Signed, Sealed, Delivered for Christmas") was a delightful sweet addition, while Bailee Madison was, once again, a joy to watch as Elf Clementine!

I hope you will also enjoy this *Dazzy* new 'Northpole' adventure!

Hallmark Channel Announces 15 New Movies for Christmas 2015!

If you've been watching the Hallmark Channel, lately... on April 1st, they began airing commercials for Christmas 2015 - no foolin'!

 

My sister first brought it my attention. (Thank you, Sis!) She saw the Christmas Commercial, while watching the Hallmark program, 'Home & Family'. I, of course, turned the show on... and later on, saw the commercial, too!

In the commercial they show little clips from past Christmas movies - and some clips for 'Northpole : Open For Christmas', with Lori Loughlin and Bailee Madison... Then they announce the BIG NEWS... there will be 15 ALL NEW CHRISTMAS MOVIES this Year!

On Set of 'Northpole: Open for Christmas' via Twitter

Will this include the Hallmark Hall of Fame movie? Or, will it be extra? Last year it wasn't counted as part of the 12 New Original Movies of Christmas, but then again, it was the first time a Hall of Fame Movie premiered first and only on the Hallmark Channel.

Also, I'm not sure about the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries Channel. Perhaps, they are announcing with their own commercial, but since I do not have this channel... if any of you, who do have this station, happen to see anything - please let us know!!!

 

Happy Christmas Movie News in April, Everyone!!!

 

15 New Hallmark Christmas Movies are on the way!!!
