This is the best 2015 Christmas movie.

Well I've seen twenty newly released ones so far, this easily tops the list trailed by Hallmark's Ice Sculpture Christmas and Crown for Christmas.

Meredith Hagner gifts us with the best manic pixie dream girl performance I've seen in a decade. She's awesome and I hope to see much more of her in the future. The rest of the cast did a fine job also, her sister and brother in law were great. I've already seen this about 6 times now and it's holding up well.

I just submitted a review and this was my title. She was adorable. Reminded me of Meg Ryan in looks and voice! Everything about this movie was top notch. I see the writer was the same one who wrote "A Holiday Engagement," another favorite of mine.

I agree with it being the best Christmas Movie this year. I have 25 or so and none equals it.

I've seen everything since writing this post and yeah, the film dominates the Christmas movie field this year. After watching it a few more times I just wish it weren't so short! Lets hope there is either a sequel or more Christmas films from these delightful performers next year.

I've watched Meredith Hagner since she was on "As the World Turns", her character was named Liberty and I loved her on that soap; she played opposite Julie Pinson (she's amazing actress who was also on Days of Our Lives and Port Charles, one of my favorite soap actresses TBH) who played her mother Janet - I just adored the mother/daughter chemistry these two actresses had on screen. They were so natural together on screen, and made it feel real. Anyway I told my mom who also watched ATWT (my mother loved this soap since she was very young as did my grandparents, its was on for a WONDERFUL 54 years before it was canceled) Meredith left ATWT before the end, she had offers coming in b/c of her talent. Well Liberty's storyline was she had cancer and Meredith did such a wonderful job w/this storyline I was so sad to see her leave but they had to "replace" her w/another actress before ATWT ended, the actress had "big shoes" to fill b/c Meredith was a fan favorite!

I apologize for rambling but I just saw something special in Meredith Hagner and my mother saw it as well. I wish her all the best b/c Hollywood can be so "brutal" so I hope she finds some great roles. I would love to see her do some Hallmark movies, maybe some "Meg Ryan-type movies" I love Meg Ryan earlier movies - they were incredible. I could see Meredith being a versatile actress, but I think romantic comedies would or could be a great start.

I love this movie as well, definitely was one of my 2015 X-Mas movies along w/Crown for Christmas had such a beautiful plot and was fantastic - Danica McKeller is also a wonderful actress; She's such a versatile actress as well, and also very "brilliant in Math". I loved the Ice Sculpture movie too, Rachael Boston is always good w/romance movies.....

I'm ROOTING for Meredith Hagner, hope to see her in a 2016 X-Mas movie soon!!
