Overrated and overhyped

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Beautiful, moving film.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

A great film for the holidays. It follows a formula but the package works well. Characters develop and become very familiar. Picturesque setting with all the classic elements of a Christmas film. Good guy, bad guy, goal to keep the pace. You want everything to work out. Wholesome and charming. Great family movie.

This is a fairly run of the mill story for Christmas. Candace Cameron-Bure as Holly scrambles when she finds out her dad has failed to manage Santaville, the family business, and the debt is huge.I thought that Holly changed her tune about Santaville a little too quickly from - I want nothing to do with that place I grew up unnoticed by my father; to - I have to save MY home.There was barely any screen time for the romance. There wasn't much in the usual stock of Christmas nostalgia besides Santa and lighting the tree.The story is pretty much predictable from early on. The acting is decent.(Since I watched Christmas Land first, I didn't realize how blatantly Christmas Land stole its plot from this movie only the ending was more insulting than this one.)

BEWARE OF FALSE REVIEWS & REVIEWERS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW TO THEIR NAME. NOW WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE MOVIE. IF ITS A NEGATIVE REVIEW THEN THEY MIGHT HAVE A GRUDGE AGAINST THE FILM . I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 200 HOLIDAY FILMS. I HAVE NO AGENDA.Candace Cameron has been in many of these Christmas films that i have watched and enjoyed. Now "Moonlight and Mistletoe" is a "Typical" Christmas Theme Hallmark" film but this film is so good that even "The Grinch" "Mr Potter" and "Scrooge" would even love. In this film a young woman returns to her family home to take care of her dad. Her dad has been Mr Santa Claus for years. His daughter is a little resentful that he is always there for everyone but her. After an accident leaves him immobile she comes to take care of him. Once home she realizes that her dad is about to lose the family home and business. Before she can help him she must repair her relationship with her dad. Yes this is a chick flick. However guys watch it with your girlfriend or wife. It is adorable!

Candace Cameron Bure is Holly a business woman who is wrapped up in her own world. She begrudgingly returns home to help her injured father. She's at first condescending and unsympathetic towards her father, Nick played by Tom Arnold, along with treating Peter, her fathers helper, like he's beneath her. She's soon smitten over a like businessman whom she meets through an old high school friend. Knowing nothing about the guy, she's drawn into a deal she believes will help save her father's failing business. For a businesswoman, she's naive in letting his good looks and her attraction to him overshadow her good sense. Without reading the contract herself, she just takes the businessman's word for it and introduces him to her father suggesting he will save his business. The opposite is true however in that the contract may actually force her father to lose his business. It's then up to her and Peter to undo the damage done.Being a hallmark movie, there is a love interest, misunderstandings and of course a happy ending. A family friendly movie.
