Three events largely play in the outcome of this film--a little girls's wish, the weather and the temperament of an otherwise beautifully restored 1953 Ford F100 with it's stock flathead V8 engine, though who on earth would drive such a gem on snow covered salted roads??? Certainly not me.
Unlike some of the other Hallmark Christmas films, there really is no villain or someone's checkered past to throw a wrench in the works to spoil it and with family films such as this, it isn't always necessary. A point well stressed here is that change and different scenery are not always what it's built up to be when it's already there at home and with the people that the individual loves and is close to.
Child actress Jaeda Lily Miller in her 6th Hallmark film is great once again. She really doesn't have to act all that much as she is doing what she really is and that's being a kid and nothing more.
The reason I didn't give this a 9 or 10 rating is that the snow storm that closed the airport is somewhat contradicted here as when they leave, they are traveling along at a normal speed and little or nothing is falling.
