      Audience Member One of my all time favorite Christmas movies. The cast, the story, the message and the magic elevate this above other holiday films. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/20/20 Full Review Audience Member Marguerite Moreau is absolutely fantastic, lovable and such a great actor Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member This hits all the right notes for a successful Christmas movie! Widowed mother with young daughter write to Santa and wishes for her mother to smile and be happy once more. Santa writes back and then begins corresponding with widowed mother. Literary sparks fly and "santa" sets out to meet the mother and daughter duo to possibly help bring the magic back into their lives. Cute movie with all the right touches and notes to get you into that holiday feeling. Grab some cocoa and enjoy. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member When Santa replied to a little girl's letter. 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 Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
