Natale a Holly Lodge

Yet another Hallmark movie that follows that very familiar Hallmark recipe of how to construct a Christmas movie.

But I will say that in this instance, it actually worked out quite well, because this movie managed to lift itself out of the average and somewhat generic gutter that these trademark Hallmark movies turn out to be.

Why?

Well, because of the storyline, although it was predictable to the core, but also because of the acting performances by a very motivated cast ensemble.

This movie felt very magical and had something to offer for the entire movie. While it is not a Christmas classic, it is still a movie that is well worth the time and effort to sit down and watch with the family and loved ones.
