what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

Good story and likable characters. Tim was good for Kathy and they had definite chemistry which helps in any Hallmark movie. This is one of my go to movies of the season. I pretty much like Kelli Martin in anything I've seen her in. Cameron Mathison was to new to me but I'd watch him again. I hope to see them again together in another movie.

This is a great film. Kathy plans to avoid any holiday traditions that bring back memories of her late husband until she receives an ornament from a handsome shop owner. To move on from her loss, Kathy works for a balance between her memories and finding a future.I am sure this film was conceived so that Hallmark could sell the Christmas Ornament that is featured in this film but they did make an amazing film to help sell it! There is not anything I would change in the film. This film is so special that it made we want to bake cookies and open a Christmas Tree Lot. If you love Romance then watch!

Christmas time is a special time of the year. For many of us it is the best time of the year. In this film that is true for Kathie the young widow who owns "Dream Cycle". The store she just opened with her husband less than a year ago. He died and the business is now struggling. In the same town is Tim. He is a single guy who gave up on 401k and office work to live his dream. He runs/owns a Christmas tree lot with hopes of something bigger. His dream is to own a place where "Christmas can be celebrated all year long". Tim however is just getting over a break up. He meets Kathy one day on his lot. They click but both are afraid to admit it. By chances they run into one another ice skating. They become friends but both are like teenagers. Afraid of being hurt and slightly haunted by a past relationship.The ending is what you expect (AND LET'S FACE YOU WANT THIS TYPE OF ENDING) but everything that happens in this is how most people would react in real life. I love the fact everyone here makes mistakes and learns from them. I also love it that nobody is called "Stupid" for acting (or reacting) a certain way".IF they ever did a follow up film I would have Tim and Kathie trying to bring more "Christmas Joy" to the town they live in. And along the way they there dreams come 100% true.

Hallmark up its game with this film. The story is believable. The people come across as real. The situation plausible. The chemistry between the leads "GREAT". In this film Kathy lost her husband about a month after she and him opened up a bicycle shop. After less than a year the business is struggling. At the same time she meets a handsome Christmas lot owner. Her friend is trying to get her to go out with the guy (Cameron Mathison). So what her friends does is she buys a Christmas Tree from and has him deliver it to her home. Of course the guy has some baggage but he is someone most people would love to land. His dream is to open up a place where Christmas is celebrated all year long. He also wants Kathy to be there with him. Kathy gets cold feet real fast. To give anything else away would be a crime. If you love Christmas movies and films about adults you will enjoy this.
