Storyline

"Just because they are identical does not mean these twins even like each other. Estranged twin sisters get together for an obligatory pre-Christmas lunch, a year after their mother's death. Both women are unhappy and frustrated with their own lives. Though not close, each is envious of the other's life. What's a twin to do but take advantage of this? And who would be the wiser? They do what any identical twins in need of new outlooks would do: they swap lives until Christmas Day, and by doing so, each woman discovers the true meaning of her life and gains a deeper perspective and appreciation for what she already had."

Right when the movie starts and Bure is going to work she has on a long beige coat. When she gets on the escalator she is wearing a parka with fur on the hood. When she gets to the top of the escalator and walks into her office, she is wearing the long beige coat again.

User Reviews

Great!

I loved this movie. Décor is great. Not always the case with Hallmark. You either get real Christmas decoration that look professionally done or the occasional flat red bow thrown here and there. Enjoyed the actors. Fun fun Christmas movie. Will save this one. I also liked the one she did last year Journey Back to Christmas. That one surprised me. I thought Candace's acting was the best I've seen in her. Well done.
