Fina Strazza is an amazing little talent with the cutest expressions and timing; she truly outshines the veteran cast.Lacey and Brennan are magic together as well and their on screen romance is on par with their other 'All of My Heart" movies. Lacey is always charming and Brennan is always witty and comical, they make a great team.In my opinion (and of course everyone is entitled to theirs), Mariah would have been better served to stay in the director seat. I just don't care for her as an actress and I think a more bubbly/peppy actress would have been better suited. But I will give it to Mariah that her directing was good.Lastly, the Folgers things was just too funny. The first time was subtle, but the second time you couldn't have gotten anymore over the top obvious with that one; made me chuckle pretty good.

Enjoyed this movie, of course typical Hallmark fare. At first, I thought this was Mariah Carey's acting debut, but according to the Comcast program guide, she has done two others. One she flopped,the other did apparently very well. It seemed like she was so intent on directing herself, with the many spotlighted close- ups that her acting fell flat in this movie. The real star of the movie was Fina Strazza who played nine year old Emily Parson.

Don't get me wrong, I love all Christmas shows, Mariah Carey and Lacey Chabert, but the closeups of Mariah were starting to freak me out. Was she pregnant while filming? That might make sense. Aside from the freaky head shots, I enjoyed this show.I've followed Lacey in many, if not all, of the movies she has made for Hallmark and have enjoyed every one of them. Mariah's music worked well in this movie and it didn't disappoint. The young girl who played Emily was a cutie. I can't wait to see more of her on Hallmark in the future.Although, the plots are the same on the Christmas shows, I don't mind and will continue watching the Hallmark channel for years to come.

''A Christmas Melody'' is a new Hallmark Channel's movie. Fashion designer Kristin Parson (Lacey Chabert) sells her house in LA, and with her daughter, she is coming home, in town, where she used to live as a child. In Silver Falls, Ohio, she meets a music teacher Danny Collier (Brennan Elliott), who had a crash on her, since they were a kids. Now, Danny is Emiliy's (Fina Strazza) teacher. It's a nice movie. Mariah Carey, as a director did a good job. I really love Lacey Chabert and Brennan Elliott, think that they were amazing. Fina Strazza is a surprise for me. At the end, nice movie, with very good actors.
