I did like Vanessa Lengies. As for Jesse Hutch, I can take him or leave him. He was OK in this one. Why do you close all of your stores because selling on-line only was a better business plan, and then open a brand new "flagship" store? That made zero sense. If it is your only store, it's not a "flagship" store. I didn't like the impending doom atmosphere of this one. If your going to have a "save the business" trope, it doesn't work if the business isn't saved. Failure is not an option in a Hallmark Christmas Movie. It needed an epilogue showing the pair's success in going after their dreams, and also showing some comeuppance for their former company which stole Vanessa's idea, then moved it to Las Vegas of all places.
