It may not be the greatest Christmas movie ever made but it is sweet. The Chicago Christmas scenes are pretty nice. Another review stated that Kristin Davis was too old for the part. Really??? Kristin is 51 and Eric McCormack is 53. Does that mean that people in their 50's or older can't fall in love? We are never too old to look at our lives and make changes! Yes, it is somewhat predictable but this one had a somewhat surprise ending. Hallmark movies are meant to be enjoyable and take you away from this crazy world for two hours. Christmas movies are fantasy! I for one was touched by A Heavenly Christmas and loved it. Who knew that Eric McCormack could sing? Not bad either! Enjoy the movie!!!

What a beautiful story. Kristin Davis, Eric McCormack, Shirley MacLaine as well as the little niece were all wonderful. Thank you for bringing joy, Hope and happiness to others. Not only was the story line inspiring, the music, city views, holiday decor was awesome. I have loved Shirley MacLaine since I was a child. I am a huge fan of Will and Grace and Sex and City. I own the DVD's of all seasons for both so I am very fond of Kristin Davis and Eric McCormack. To see Eric sing was a treat, very talented! Kristin is just as adorable as ever. Beautiful Story Thank you all for bringing joy, hope and happiness to others. Thank you Hallmark for all of your masterpieces. I've enjoyed them through the years.

Kristin Davis has a unique sweetness and charm so her presence together with her other A list (for Hallmark) co stars Eric Maccormack and the still limber looking Shirley Maclaine elevate this Hallmark Christmas movie to above average. There isn't the usual filmed in Canada look with pleasant looking but not too famous Canadian actors.Kristin is a work obsessed executive who neglects family and love. After falling and hitting her head on a snowy pavement she becomes an angel and falls for a sad guy Eric Maccormack who lost his sister and cares for his niece. He runs a diner and used to be a singer - so he does get to display his singing voice a fair bit.She only has a week but romance ensues. The little fix and the end is predictable but it's palatable.Most hallmark movies are predictable but when you have a good cast it's just that much more watchable.Want to see more of Kristin Davis on TV.

There are so many things to love about this Hallmark movie. Between Kristin Davis, Shirley Maclaine and Eric McCormack, the cast could not have been better. The movie was written in such a way that the elements of love, laughter, magic and surprise, wove together a movie that was uplifting yet kept the plot from being predictable. Also, these elements did not only come together for the sake of entertainment. The writing conveyed a very clear message for the viewers. "A Heavenly Christmas", had a beautiful story line, with a lot of depth to the topic. This fun movie managed to include some heavy topics such as death and afterlife. There seems to be a very clear invitation for viewers to reflect on how they live their lives now. Still, this movie is suitable for all ages. This the perfect Christmas movie for the entire family.
