Christmas Town
Network: Hallmark
Director: Jeff Beesley
Adapted by: Wesley Bishop and Donald Martin
Plot Summary:
Elementary school teacher Lauren Gabriel decides to leave the comfortable and familiar – and career-only minded boyfriend – for a more family-friendly/white-picket fence lifestyle far from Boston. En route, her train is delayed in the small, quaint town of Grandon Falls, nicknamed “Christmastown.” When Lauren meets the handsome handy-man Travis, his young foster son Dylan and searches for a long-lost beloved family heirloom, she extends her stay. During the festive and family-focused days before Christmas she gets an unexpected opportunity and contemplates a life-changing decision, realizing that Christmas – and Grandon Falls – has a way of making miracles happen.

My Thoughts:
Lauren, to me, is an awesome character. Even though she has had a tough life, Lauren is still trying to live a great life that her parents would like. Lauren seems like she would be a spectacular teacher and a terrific mom. Candace Cameron Bure is an amazing actress, and she does a great job with this character. I loved how Lauren’s story plays out.
Travis is another excellent character, and I love how sweet he is with not only the townspeople but also with Dylan. He is known around town as Mr. Fix It, and I think that is pretty cool since he does a lot of things for so many people. Tim Rozon is a great actor in this movie, and I love his performance. He is even more when he is with Candace. The two of them are great together, and I love their chemistry in this film.
This movie is a great one. Christmas Town is one of the best Hallmark Movies that they have done this year. I highly recommend it.
