This movie is just like a chocolate bar - or a gingerbread cookie. Sweet!!!I mean, ok, when it comes to a Hallmark movie, you pretty much know what to expect. But, when you get passed all that, this movie gives you the sense of tranquility - at least it did to me...And I believe it all comes down to Ms. Broderick (the lodge lady-owner), who is tranquility personified. A lady who gets the good, and in this case the bad, with an endless endurance. Loved her!!!Ms. Whelan is such a beauty!!!
But I really liked that the movie did not base itself on that. She totally managed to portray a career oriented, over-worked young woman, who has just "lost her way".The rest of the cast was great too, but as i've said, it's the two ladies that really shine.Finally, the whole reindeer thing is a plus too. Their appearance at the end of the movie, was a treat!As Ms. Broderick states: "You know,we were afraid they might not come, that it would take some sort of Christmas magic, but I think you all brought that. You brought your love, young love, and new love.""I think true love brought the reindeer."A must see!!!

Yep. It wasn't that romantic, but possibly not the fault of the actors. Hallmark serves up such recycled scripts it's a wonder no one has caught on this can't last forever.
There was a lot of problems in this movie which were hard to miss, from the fake snow (blankets) to the sooo painfully digitally created car interior scenes, not to mention the reindeer who never really got their chance to shine...but I will give this one props for using a few new actors. Plus I did get in a real Christmasy mood.I only wish that hot chocolate was real.

Nicky Whelan is very pretty, however, her hair throughout this movie is a disaster area. She never appears in anything better than a sloppy sweater also. Big disappointment. The rest of the cast is fine and the story is moves along well. The guy from CHiPs is awesome.

The opening premise is kind of funny, but that was about all I could get into. I have these pretty high expectations now regarding hall mark christmas movies, some of them through the years have been surprisingly goodUnfortunately, this particular movie is pretty flat, kind of like eating cardboard. It might be something ladies may enjoy, but definitely not any interest for a guy. Even for one who has a short list of hall mark holliday favorites.Flat, bland, uninteresting, I guess it was just made to fill a slot on an agenda.
