CHRISTMAS PEN PALS

Network:             Lifetime
Stars:     Niall Matter, Sarah Drew, Michael Gross

Following an unexpected breakup weeks before Christmas, Hannah (Drew), tech wiz and creator of the dating app, Perfect One, heads home for the holidays, challenged to save her failing business by re-conceiving a new romantic dating model.

Upon her return she runs into her high school boyfriend, Sam (Matter) who she has carefully avoided for years and reluctantly makes a deal with her dad, Ted (Gross) to sign up for the town’s Christmas Cupid, an anonymous holiday pen pal service. As the season progresses, Hannah is smitten by each beautifully written letter she receives and starts to believe that her Christmas pen pal could be her soul mate.

It’s not until Christmas Eve that everyone must reveal their true identities to their pen pals, even if it means coming face to face with the last person they ever expected.

My Rating:

five-stars

My Thoughts:

This Christmas movie was so sweet. It takes the characters back in time you might say, to a time before texting or instant messages or dating apps. I like the way they showed the history of the Christmas Cupid in their small town. The actors all did a marvelous job, and the setting was nice. The postmaster/retired high school teacher was like a cupid herself. She was adorable. I also liked the code names that they had to use.

This story is about moving on after the loss of a loved one, how a whole family needed to heal and move on.

A couple of the letter from Hutch to Stardust were super cute. Hutch convinced her to get a Christmas tree and bring back the family traditions. Then he sent her a treasure map, and she found these beautiful old fashioned earrings. So romantic!

This movie I recommend and I will be watching it again.
