Synopsis
Popular romance novelist Izzi Simmons spends every Christmas at her favorite snowy bed & breakfast, but this year, she's faced with an impending deadline and a severe case of writer's block. Luckily, inspiration strikes in the unlikely form of the B&B's new owner Matt, who bears an uncanny resemblance to the handsome hero from Izzi's novels. As both partake in the lodge's annual itinerary of Christmas activities, Izzi's writer's block is cured and the first pages of her and Matt's own love story may just be beginning.

Review by Mark Diba ★★★★★
I can’t express how much it means to see a disabled woman starring in her own Lifetime Christmas movie. All of us deserve to live out cheesy, formulaic plots in our own Christmas fantasy.

Review by Madison 🎭 ★★½
Christmas movies have such weird morals or lack thereof like.... miss girl was writing erotica ab this man

The Elms of Cranbury.
I am going through a rough situation, and while I can only play a supporting role, I wish I could do more for my partner instead of just watching her go through the pain of losing her mother.
This movie played as we (my partner) sat and watched with her mother.
I consider Letterboxd my life journal, so this is the only place where I can express myself.

Review by Lisa ★★½
Izzi (Ali Stroker) is a writer with writer's block (surprise, surprise) who returns to her favourite holiday haunt, The Antler Chalet, Silver Springs Bed and Breakfast, before the new owners take it over and possibly tear it down. There she meets Matt (Daniel di Tomasso), the new owner of the Chalet and who bears an uncanny resemblance to the handsome lead protagonist in Izzi's novels.
Another Lifetime Christmas special only this one is quite sweet; it also has a little twist in that our leading lady happens to be disabled and uses a wheelchair. I was impressed that this didn’t become a massive part of the story, and I’m not sure it was even mentioned once. Quite refreshing. As usual…

This was filmed during the height of covid and so the two leads were kissing through plexiglass. Absolutely amazing.

Review by Grant McLanaghan
I liked this. Even if the lead character is a writer of romantic fiction who’s looking for her very own White Knight, which is clichéd as all get out. And when a young girl tells her she’s a writer too, our heroine instantly throws a romantic narrative conundrum back at her. I mean, who’s to say the kid doesn’t write ghost stories, sci-fi or crime capers? (She’s writing a fairytale romance. Of course she bloody is.)
There’s an unlikely reveal related to our protag’s vocation and her potential beau’s romantic past, which is at least acknowledged as being implausible. And to be honest, it’s satisfying within the fiction of the film. Oh, and the main lady sings The Wassailing Song,…

Review by roma
im all for representation but a wheelchair-using writer who loves oatmeal, traditions, and not making moves on the ppl she's into is just rude. christmas movies are supposed to be abt escapism

Review by Rose Esposito 🌹 ★★★ 1
Really not the kinda thing I'd usually seek out, like ever, buttttttt if I'm going to keep squawking about the need for actual decent disability representation then I guess I'd better actually watch the shit when it exists. And it's good here! She's allowed to be a real character (well, as real as it gets on Lifetime) with friends and dreams and hobbies and a job, and her disability isn't remotely part of the conflict. ...Actually, there kinda is no conflict, except for like five minutes of a Wacky Misunderstanding. But hey, it's progress.
Two questions, however: WHY is her novel in PRESENT TENSE, and did NO ONE at Lifetime HQ also notice that this dude looks unsettlingly like a young and only slightly less threatening Vincent Gallo?? I ...

Review by Olivia Coady ★★
we love when our leading lady’s fashion is little house on the prairie meets eighth grade field trip to DC
i haven’t watched a cheesy hallmark movie in a while but, to see someone who uses a wheelchair as our main character, a lesbian couple, and not an all white cast was really cool. more terrible hallmark movies like this or else i’ll sell your dad’s charming inn and put in a strip mall, bitch.
