    Finding Your Bliss
    This Hallmark holiday romance features Jodie Sweetin ("Full House") as Grace, the person in charge of a small town's Christmas celebration, including the parade. Everything is on schedule until the town's Santa breaks his arm. Grace auditions many possible replacement Santas, but she deems them "unsuitable." There seems to be only one solid choice to don the whiskers this ho-ho-holiday, but he may be unwilling. What will she do?

    Sweetin is adorable in this role. She is cast opposite Eric Winter, who plays Ben-the son of the sidelined Santa. If you are familiar with Winter's character on "The Rookie", this role shows an entirely different personality. The two of them work well together.

    Though much of the story is formulaic---including the subplot about finding one's passion--- it is nevertheless a heart-warming seasonal offering.
