Yes, it's a Christmas movie filled with every cliché that you've ever heard of. Yes, it is horribly acted, and, the cinematography is all over the place. It's filled with B-roll that doesn't match the main story and it's obvious it was shot out of season.
What it does have is love.
I found "Deck the Heart" to be quite charming and fun while relaxing on the couch. The general story is pretty fun: in order for Chris Ackerman (Joe Kurak ) to receive his inheritance from his recently, deceased grandfather, will be loved and, his grandfather loves Christmas, Christmas must throw a wonderful Christmas party. To ensure this is done accurately, Chris's grandfather's best friend, who is a lawyer, will stop by to make sure that it's done perfect. However, he can't decorate!
In walks Meredith"Merry" Block (Ashley Brinkman, who frequently collaborates with writer/director Candice "Candy" Cain) to decorate!
Using old photos of grandfather's, previous Christmas decorations, she throws together a beautiful Christmas party that everybody approves of, especially the lawyer, and Chris gets his inheritance, and wins Merry's heart.
There are some trials and tribulations that go along the way, but, who cares? This is a very adorable and fun Christmas movie.
If any of this doesn't intrigue you then you're probably a Grinch who loves lumps of coal.
