As another reviewer said, the Hallmark M&M series seems to do better in terms of acting range than just Hallmark Christmas movies. I watched this one late in the evening, and though I was pretty sleepy to begin with, it kept my attention until the end. With a somewhat predictable finish, getting to it was interesting and had some mystery and intrigue. I love Tyler Hynes, he plays characters well and seems to always have good chemistry with his leading ladies. I was unfamiliar with Holland Roden, had never watched her before -- she was impressive, not over the top but with enough range of emotion to make her character genuine and likeable. I also liked the fact that there was an element of romance for we "older" folks, (the Carter/Madelyn arc) not just the 20-somethings. Was it cheesy? Of course, only as Hallmark Christmas movies can be, but all a part of the charm or watching them during the season.
