Next Stop, Christmas

Though there might be some minor plot holes in this time-bending Hallmark holiday romance, they are not enough to derail this imaginative reimagining of the "Groundhog Day" conceit, which begins with a train ride to yesteryear.

Lyndsy Fonseca stars as Angie, a neurosurgeon who finds the Christmas season less than enchanting. Christopher Lloyd plays a mysterious ticket agent who engineers a sidetrack off the path of Angie's life. She gains the opportunity to rework her life, learning lessons about love and family along the way.

The camera loves Lyndsy Fonseca and she projects an energetic authenticity that is winning. In fact, all the cast is enjoyable to watch. And they are given dialogue that feels real, not like some romances where every line feels canned.

This enchanting tale is worthy of watching and appreciating again and again.
