The Santa Summit

8.6 stars.

'The Santa Summit' sits squarely atop most Hallmark material right of the bat. It was a very festive and pleasant experience to watch these three women fall in love with strangers (one of the men is not really a stranger, but seems like one). What is magnetic about this film is the excitement and fun, and it's the opposite of boring. It's non-stop romantic energy and promises of Christmas cheer and wishes of good tidings of great joy for three deserving ladies.

The story gets better as we go, which says a lot considering it starts off on full throttle and never slows down. I don't mean it's a fast paced drama per se, but it keeps you on the edge of your seat as these school teachers are attending a Santa Summit because they need a little fun to kick them out of their funk, but amidst their innocent pleasure seeking activities, they are blessed with instant love.

What really excites about 'The Santa Summit' is how everything culminates to a wonderful and happy conclusion and it feels like one of the classics...imagine Ferris Bueller, 'Pretty in Pink', 'Sixteen Candles'. These stories all bring that feeling everything will be okay. Life merges with good fortune and romance and it all works out. The final scene is perfectly timed and full of merriment and delight. Yearly must see list.
