My Thoughts:

Random Acts of Christmas is a great holiday movie that is spreading Christmas cheer, especially for people who have forgotten it.

Erin Cahill is a great actress that can do any role well. Sydney Larken is an overwhelmed single mom and is tasked with unwrapping who the Secret Santa is. Of course, she doesn’t want to do that since Secret Santa is working and bringing the city together to celebrate Christmas. Sydney is a great character, and I loved everything about her. Especially her devotion to Oliver, her son.

Kevin McGarry is a great actor that is getting into doing holiday movies. Collins Hauer is trying to keep his identity a secret from the public right now as he doesn’t want to underwhelm what his company is doing. He is a great character, though, that only wants to do the best for the city and Sydney as well.

I love the sets that were used, and the setting of Chicago is great. The whole Random Acts of Christmas Kindness is great, and it’s awesome to see people just giving some Christmas cheer to everyone around them.
