"Heidi (Osment), who initially left her small town of Pleasant Valley with the dream of one day becoming a successful painter, has put her own art on hold to excel as an art gallery curator. Now, a week before the gallery's big Christmas party, she must return home to watch her niece and nephew. She comes face to face with her high school love, Chris, now a teacher, who is in over his head after he must find a new last-minute location for the Christmas dance. Heidi offers to help him and together they discover a beautiful place for the dance, perfectly capturing the Christmas spirit, called Wonderland Farms. The more time Heidi spends in Pleasant Valley decorating for the Christmas SnowBall, the more she finds herself inspired to start painting again. With Christmas fast approaching, Heidi soon becomes torn between the life she built in the city and the life she is surprisingly charmed by back in Pleasant Valley, embracing her true passion."

I watched this movie all the way through a week ago and literally could not remember it. Even after starting it and ten minutes into it again, I couldn't remember anything about it except that I had seen it. I didn't watch it all again, but scanned some and re-watched some of it for these comments.
The acting was fair at best. Something was missing in line delivery. The story was more of the same stuff recycled with nothing special to make it stand out.
The climax and ending didn't sell. Choices didn't really make sense. I will say one thing positive about it. They didn't magically tie up half-a-dozen or more loose ends in a nice overly neatly wrapped package so that everyone down to the Christmas mouse was happy.
There is also nothing really wrong with the movie other than less than stellar acting. It was still pleasant. If you aren't in the middle of binging dozens of Christmas movies and you have time for this one, it will probably be fine. But in the midst of Countdown to Christmas and Miracles of Christmas not to mention at least two other channels premiering several movies a week, this one is easy to lose in the crowd.
