As I sat down in 2021 to watch the 2017 Christmas movie titled "Christmas in Evergreen" I must admit that I wasn't harboring much of any expectations to it. Why? Well, the movie's cover/poster sort of had that archetypical Christmas cheesy feel to it. So I figured I would be in for one of those run-of-the-mill Christmas romance movies that come a dime a dozen each year. But still, I opted to sit down and watch what writer Rick Garman and director Alex Zamm had to offer.
And as it turned out, then "Christmas in Evergreen" was actually a rather wholesome and entertaining Christmas movie. Sure, it had that sappy romantic element to it, but it wasn't really the main focal point of the movie. So I will say that "Christmas in Evergreen" had something for just about everyone in the audience. I, personally, was genuinely entertained by the story told here.
They had managed to put together a good ensemble of actors and actresses for the movie, with the lead roles belonging to Ashley Williams and Teddy Sears. I will say that the lead performers carried the movie quite well and they were rather nicely cast for the movie. "Christmas in Evergreen" also has the likes of Holly Robinson Peete and Barbara Niven on the cast list.
If you enjoy Christmas movies, then "Christmas in Evergreen" is certainly an enjoyable movie, and it definitely surprised me. So this is a Christmas movie that I can warmly recommend.
My rating of "Christmas in Evergreen" lands on a seven out of ten stars.
