Christmas in Evergreen

This movie is so cute. Characters are realistic even though the story is based on a magical snow globe that grants Christmas wishes. Adore Ashley Williams in this movie. Before seeing this I only knew her as crazy Claire in "Something Borrowed".

I am writing my review after reviewing the other 12 reviews. Several people thought it unbelievable that she would actually drive a truck to DC, clearly they did not watch the movie because she was not driving the truck to DC she was driving the truck to the airport there was a whole scene about the airport being snowed and in flights being canceled. That said, the town was idyllic the doctor was handsome the kid was cute, and the movie had a very typical plot as many as these Hallmark movies have the same plot. All in all though it was still enjoyable. The only thing I don't like is it felt like she led her boyfriend in DC on for several years and he seemed very serious about the relationship, and he also seemed like a really nice guy. If the main characters is going to betray a long time boyfriend at least they could do is make him a cad and an unlikeable person. I know they are all ending up where they are supposed to be, but it seemed like a betrayal which made it a little sad to me.

The town of Evergreen is home to a magic Christmas globe. Veterinarian Allie Shaw (Ashley Williams) is moving to DC for a new job at a big clinic and spending time with her ex Spencer. She makes a wish on the globe and situations conspire to keep her stuck in town. Michelle (Holly Robinson Peete) is her best friend who is taking over the Christmas festival. Ryan Bellamy (Teddy Sears) and his daughter Zoe are passing through town to fly to Florida. Zoe makes a wish on the globe. They run into Allie at the airport. Flights are canceled. The road out is blocked. No one can come in for the Christmas festival and no one can leave. This is a Hallmark Christmas romance. It is a no drama special. There are no big surprises. Ashley Williams is super sweet. Teddy Sears is perfectly nice. It is hot sugary chocolate and it doesn't even have the marshmallows for fun. It does what it sets up to do. It does not offend. It does not challenge. It is a dash of magic and a batch of sugar cookies. It is Christmas at its nicest and safest.

Louisa May Alcott did not write A Christmas Carol , Charles Dickens did.
