Rocky Mountain Christmas

Storyline via Hallmark: Advertising execs Melanie Welsh and Donovan Goodwin disagree on a cellphone Christmas commercial they’re pitching. He says his sleek design will win over the client but she knows it lacks holiday spirit. Christmas is definitely in Melanie’s wheelhouse, but when she draws Donovan’s name for Secret Santa, she’s at a loss. He’s even more minimalist than his advertising style. Determined to give Donovan and their commercial holiday joy, Melanie tries to get to know him via a Secret Santa email. She also takes him to a Christmas tree farm for a crash course in holiday cheer. As they work together, Donovan slowly opens up to Melanie, and she begins to fall for him. What she doesn’t know is he’s her Secret Santa too! As they create the perfect commercial, they also realize they might be perfect partners as well.

🌟🌟🌟

May you enjoy all of the Christmas movies airing this week!


MY PICK of the Week:

"Rocky Mountain Christmas" AND "With Love, Christmas!"

However, I do like the end of "The Christmas Heart," which is a beautiful reminder to follow the light!

As for "Rocky Mountain Christmas," there's the handsome Kristoffer Polaha, gorgeous horses and the beautiful great outdoors! What's not to like? Plus, my absolute favorite part is when the parade begins and we can hear Alan Jackson singing in the background, "Let it be Christmas!"

My other pick, "With Love, Christmas," is definitely one of those feel good Hallmark Christmas movies that is lighthearted and heartwarming, too! It's a movie that always uplifts my spirit, especially when Donovan opens up his heart again to Christmas!

I hope you also open up your heart to Christmas this week! May it fill you up - with joy and peace!

 "JL Family Ranch" movie

Movie Review:


Not since J.R. and Dallas has TV seen a family like this.

Heritage, Loyalty, Heartbreak, Redemption… 'J.L. Family Ranch' is the epitome of Hallmark.

With an amazing all-star cast: Jon Voight, James Caan, Melanie Griffith, and more… you will be drawn in from the start. 'J.L. Family Ranch' has the feel of a modern day western meets country song.

Rich in history, the name 'J.L. Family Ranch' says it all. John Landsburg (Jon Voight), as the patriarch, is determined to care for his family and his ranch, every member and square inch of it. To the death, if necessary and it just might be necessary!

When a local rancher, Tap Peterson (James Caan), with a vendetta, schemes with local government bureaucrats to take over the Landsburg ranch, John, along with his daughters Rebecca (Teri Polo) and Regan (Abby Brammell), and troubled, but loyal son Brady (Trevor Donovan), do everything in their power to fight back. They are devoted to their father and their roots, and nothing sways them away – not money, temptations, or threats.

This movie has such an authentic feel, so real. Very true to our lives today, as it delves into government control, imminent domain, and our basic rights and freedoms.

If you love American history, the old west, or the countryside… if you believe in an honest day’s work, for an honest day’s pay… and the good ole USA, you will be riveted by Hallmark Movies and Mysteries’ 'J.L. Family Ranch'.


-Review by Net, itsawonderfulmovie.com



See or Skip:

Please note: J.L. Family Ranch is like a modern day western with guns and other violence. Adult situations are discussed. Along with drinking, a physical altercation, etc…

If you enjoy the old western type movies and love the country way of life - then you will definitely want to see 'J.L. Family Ranch'.
