Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Excellent but underrated film

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

It's December, so TV channels are flooded with Christmas films. But this is not my first Christmas film of the season. And Hallmark films are easily a go for it. TV movies have simple stories, so don't they to surprise me all the time. To create a story around Christmas is not that easy, because there are hundred of films comes every year based on the same festival. How it all starts and ends are almost predictable, but topic on which it rides on is very important. This one was about the tree. The decorated tree in the city centre that delights all the Chicagoans. But its responsibility to make sure are things are taken care comes under a young woman named Holly aka Miss Christmas.Just a week to go, Holly has reached the source destination for her new tree, but trouble awaits. That the family who own the tree is divided over donating it for some sentimental reason. Now she has to convince them, and how she does that with other personal events unfolds in the rest of the film. Being an animal and tree lover, I hated her approach. I never support such cruel act, just to please someone to enjoy the festival by killing a tree. Not just one, billions of people do it around the world which brings catastrophe in nature every year. Apart from that, the film was average. A family film, particularly for the female audience.5/10

Run of the mill production from Hallmark. In this film a woman who is in charge of a towns Christmas Tree Festival must look for a new tree when the one she wanted is no longer available. The tree finder is Chicago's renowned Radcliffe Tree lighting is left desperate to find the perfect tree. A letter from a boy promising his tree is perfect sends her to a small town where she learns his dad isn't willing to part with the tree.When she arrives in town she finds out the owner of the tree doesn't want her to have it. Heart warming feature. Give it a shot! Now there is someone here attacking another reviewer. I trust his/hers views. They have been on IMDb for years. I looked at what the reviewer has "Claimed". There are many films that have reviews and the reviewer has only reviewed that film! I looked at his/her reviews and they are never "rude". I think someone on this board got called out on their behavior!
Christmas-Reviewer
I Have Reviewed OVER 400 ( C H R I S T M A S ) MOVIES so beware of fake reviews & reviewers. Many Christmas films only have 1 review. When it's a POSITIVE REVIEW chances are that the reviewer was involved with the production. If its a negative review then they may have a huge grudge against the film.I am fare about these films. The only reason why I review them is to keep track of what "I have seen". In this filmA lovely lady Nicknamed "Miss Christmas," the official tree finder for Chicago's renowned Radcliffe Tree lighting is left desperate to find the perfect tree. A letter from a young boy promising his tree is perfect sends her to a small town where she learns the young boy's dad isn't willing to part with his tree. Now any Christmas Film that has a "One Horse Open Sleigh" scene is almost guaranteed to get a rave review from me.Now what I like about this film is shows us how "Christmas Traditions" in your childhood get carried over when your an adult. In fact you miss the people that you lost the most at Christmas Time. Now this wasn't the greatest Hallmark Movie however the leads are pleasant. The film has faults but most films do. I will watch it againMerry Christmas

This review contains spoilers in the general sense, but really if you don't know where this movie is going you have not watched Halmark.Hallmark Christmas 2017 is off to a good start, better than last year, and this movie continues the above average trend.When looking at a the Hallmark Christmas movie genre I have four factors that I consider One, is the romance believable. I fault that here. I don't see this couple working out (she likes the kid and the town more than him really) and while they have some good dialogue I think long term she will be his second ex-wife. I think their eventual divorce might make a good Lifetime movie for the sequel.Two, is it funny. I thought it was funny though not hilarious in parts.Three, how did it incorporate Christmas. I thought it was beautifully done as far as the decorations and the town, but slightly sappy as to the sentiment. I also thought the way the conundrum of the tree was resolved was a twist and nice.Four, how do the minor and subplots add or subtract to the movie? While it had some nice characters (all on her side) to round out the story there was no real secondary story in which to be interested.All told it was certainly very watchable and a definite cut above a lot of the Christmas movies. Ms. D'Orsay carries the movie to that point but the rest of the cast and the rigid adherence to the Halmark Christmast plot (cute kid wants new mom and wise parent tries to be matchmaker with a silly misunderstanding keeping them apart) keep it from being one of the top tier of Halmark Christmas.
