Haul out the Holly

Lacey Chabert, whose picture is in the Oxford English dictionary next to the definition of "adorable", and who has tiny, dexterous hands, plays Emily, who returns to her Christmas-obsessed hometown, filled with a large number of crazy characters, including an old friend, also crazy, played by Wes Brown. Hilarity ensues as the town tries to convince the somewhat Christmas-weary Emily, who has been abandoned by her parents, to get in the spirit and do a lot of initially unwanted work. Also, there is and a little romance. Great dialogue, which is actually funny, comedic acting by everyone, and a beautiful setting, highlight this best Hallmark Christmas movie in quite a long time.
