Evil Lane was born on Christmas Eve in a diner while her mother was on the road. Now, being almost 35 to get access to her trust fund, her mother decides to test her by granting the 5 strangers who helped her a Christmas wish.

Kevin McGarry and Taylor Cole are both Hallmark stars and fan favorites and you can see why. The chemistry was great, yes, but they also charm the viewer on their own. You get to love every character they play and wish you can see them again soon.

The movie was beautiful. I was reminded why I love Christmas movies and enjoy Hallmark movies in general. I liked that even though there was a tiny secret thrown in the mix, no one made assumptions, no one was offended and no one heard conversations they weren't supposed to listen to.

Such a beautiful movie that one must definitely watch. I was reminded on how I felt when I first discovered a Hallmark movie: like nothing was wrong in the world and like I MUST visit a small town during Christmas time.

Asha is a nurse practitioner who one Christmas night encounters Jake, an old high school classmate. They hit it off immediately and go on an impromptu date that same night. Fast forward a year later, they get engaged and it's time to go back home and meet the inlaws.

I'm a bit biased because I love Benjamin Hollingsworth and I think he is a great leading man, full of carisma and charm. I've seen Anuja in the Resident and I think it's her first Hallmark movie. I thought the chemistry was there. I'm definitely not mad about the early kiss. It instantly breaks the formula we are all used to.

Yes, this movie is full of stereotypes. And you can imagine how this goes, Indian family on one side and Irish descendants on the other, everyone proud of their cultures. The problem is that the main characters get stuck in the middle and the relationship struggles because of that. The parents should know better.

This movie is quite fast paced, it has a big secondary cast, meddlesome parents, sweet scenes between Jake and Asha and unnecessary drama. If they do get married, I recommend they elope.

Olivia (Erin Krakow) is an interior designer who is forced to work with a new producer and director for the Christmas special, enter Chris (Daniel lissing). They inmediately start bickering about the project, and he suggest working on her childhood house. There, she finds a magical letter that warns her she will meet the love of her life called Nick. She then has 3 meet cutes with three different Nicks.

I love Erin, she always shines as the leading lady, she is amazing. And i'm gonna be honest, I was a bit bitter about Daniel coming back to Hallmark after going to the other channel and leaving WCTH, but the truth is that his chemistry with Erin is off the charts.

Unfortunately, that did not translate into this movie. They have few scenes together, not enough to appreciate it. You can only truly appreciate it in the final scene. Erin's character has way too much scenes with the dates, (featuring Hallmark's Benjamin Ayres and Christopher Rusell) few with Chris and almost none in the project they are working.

I think that this script was not ideal for this reunion and it sucked. I would have liked to watch them in a movie in which they spend all of it chasing something and forcing them into funny moments together.

And while it's a enjoyable and magical Christmas movie, I was disappointed by it.
