Goofs
At the beginning of the movie, Pat and his two sons are standing in the front of fake Boise Airport. You can see deciduous trees with leaves sprayed with snow in the mid of December which is impossible in Idaho. Then in the next scene, there are green bushes in the front of Margie's house. Several minutes later, Pat and his two sons arrive at his mother's house. Again, a lot of beautiful green bushes in the front of house, and several big deciduous trees with leaves sprayed with faux snow around house, too. 15 min in, Pat and Margie stand on the sidewalk in the downtown, and behind Pat, again a lot of green deciduous trees. Around half of movie, plot takes place at Christmas tree lot, and yet again, you can see badly blurred deciduous trees in the background.

Mostly family rather than romance

I was surprised by how little screen time Brooke gets despite being the protagonist. Of course the movie could be about the male protagonist, but he's not presented as being the center of the story yet most of the screen time goes to pointless scenes about him having irrelevant conversations with his children. Her initial boyfriend, uncannily feminine, serves no purpose whatsoever in the story, which is yet another element the writers used to fill empty spaces and compensate for the lack of an actual story.

Anyway, I'd say it's an okay family movie, just mislabeled as romance.
