Patzer
The movie takes place in Colorado just before Christmas, and yet, the only time you see real winter (bare deciduous trees and snow) is on the stock footage which production overused to mask that movie was shot in autumn. In the downtown, park, and around Gage's house, you can see a lot of greenish and yellowish deciduous trees. Used snow is clearly artificial as is different from the real one. The most revealing scene that it was shot in autumn is when Madison visited car service, and on the wide shot you can see mountain full of mostly yellowish deciduous trees. Also cast and extras didn't even have the proper winter cloths, and it can be very cold in the mid of December in Colorado - most of the time cast even had opened jackets, and barely anybody had hat in the outdoor scenes as it was obviously warm.

Christmas In A Small Town

This Hallmark holiday romance lacked the sense of magic that many Hallmark films strive for. I think it is due to the lack of chemistry between the two leads.

Jennifer Finnigan plays the role of Madison, who travels to the small town of Christmas to assess its suitability for a new resort development. She is convinced there is a better alternative, but her boss asks her to investigate. When she arrives, she meets Gage (Eric Mabius), the town sheriff, who becomes her unofficial liaison with the community.

The entire town dedicates itself to convincing Madison that Christmas is the better choice, pulling out all the stops. Madison is stranded in Christmas longer than she wanted, giving her opportunities to interact with the locals, especially Gage's family. When it is time for the final decision, Madison's feelings come into play, and there is a final twist.

Eric Mabius plays the sheriff with a gruffness that Madison has to break through---a typical plot point in such romances. But we never see him thawing to her character, giving loving looks. Still, like many Hallmark films, this one honors the value of small towns and the people who live there.
