I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

Nice movie about a guy who answers letters to Santa. He meets a woman and her daughter and forms a relationship with them. The woman's "boyfriend" is, as usual, a pain, but eventually all works out. Cute and moving.

It's already a Christmas season, the televisions are packed with those themed films. So basically you can't escape from watching at least couple of them in a year. Now mine begins with this, especially Hallmark's films are special in this trademark. This is another romance themed Christmas film that is set in a little town where a young girl writes a letter to Santa wishing her mother to find love and happiness again. It will be received by a struggling writer, who replies in the name of Santa and so on, they become pen pals. But when he decides to meet them in person, the reality is different than what he thought of them. Between his two identities, revealing what he actually is what becomes challenging. The remaining film is to disclose how the story ends.Almost all the Christmas films are kind of similar, especially in romance theme. But the conclusions are dead easy to predict, because they always have a happy ending. This story was not bad, particularly in the first half. I lost interest only in the final act, they should have avoided the drag, otherwise this is a decent film. But still it is, particularly for the family audience this would be a much effective film, and to watch during the holiday season. The casting was good, nice production as well. Being a television film, it's not so bad. Since this is the first film I watched in this season, I did find it good and looking forward for other titles. -Love always, me!6/10

Okay, I am a chauvinist pig and proud of it. I was having a moment of weakness and watched this movie. Fearing the worst, my heart instantly melted watching the plot unfold.It is about a divorced man who receives a letter from a girl and her mother. And one thing leads to another and they want to know if it is meant to be. All the characters are very likable and if you want to watch a family movie, with romance and good natured fun, give this a look. The acting was pretty good and the plot is something that everyone can enjoy.I give it a 9 out of 10 and it will make you happy.

Above-average casting for a Hallmark movie, and a subject matter that is somewhat reminiscent of their excellent "The Christmas Card". The only technical flaw I found was the ending, and that snowmobile, but it's a minor quibble compared to the enjoyable story and characters worth rooting for. Basically, the story introduces us to a young girl, Lily, who writes to Santa, describing the effect that her father's death has had on her and her mom. Mom reads the reply from "Santa" and is moved to write back and a heartfelt connection between the two soon ensues. "Santa" wants to find out the real person behind the letters and, of course, neglects to share the fact that he is the "Santa" behind the letters. A happy ending, an abandoned snowmobile and a pleasant two hours - what more could one ask for?
