Alternate versions
A second version entitled "Waking Up to Christmas" was released to some streaming services. This version toned down some of the meta-jokes poking fun at the "Christmas TV movie" concept. Some of the changes include: -The scenes with Dr. Holloway (Benjamin J Stevens) were re-cut to de-emphasize his overly-dramatic line-readings. -Emily's line "A Christmas movie complete with editing mistakes" while reacting to Carly's magic hot chocolate is removed -The song Emily sings to Carly is altered to change the final line from "how expensive it is to license music" to "I just don't belong here"

A pleasant Christmas comedy.

A comedy with a very classical theme: the Christmas spirit, Emily doesn't have any the feeling for Christmas ( a family story): her dream is to travel to Bali and write a story. But then she lands in a snowy town and begins to think that she is living nightmare. She meets Chris and his parents: all seems for her fantasy. Then she has a duty: to help Chris and his parents to save the Christmas fair and for herself to rediscover the Christmas: A comedy with some sweet and funny moments: I enjoyed the performances of Marile Collins, Brad Harder, Sptephanie Izsak, Beth Fotheringham, Dave Kenneth Mc Kinnon and Vance Potter.
