It was great to see Jane Seymour and Joe Lando back together, after growing up with 'Dr Quinn.'
Like any holiday movie there are some corny/cheesy lines but the story was a fresh take on love and family.
I also liked how the story focuses on how no matter how old someone is, everyone deserves to find love. Most of these movies are about a 30-something, but this is about the 30-something's mother finding herself and what makes her happy again.
And thank you to Lifetime for another movie that doesn't end in a kiss. Too many moves are unrealistic ending in a kiss, when that's not how real life works.

Blast from the past
Michaela and Sully together again
Loved it up until they performed in the hokey Christmas play. I wished they hadn't shown any of it, perhaps just discussed it later. I found it so jarringly bad I felt bad for Joe Lando. Jane Seymour continues to shine and I did love seeing Joe and Jane together again after all these years. They should make a movie together at least once a year. It doesn't even have to be a holiday movie. Perhaps a Dr. Quinn reunion movie. I would watch that. I still love Michaela and Sully. ? It was a great series. In fact, I just watched the entire 6 seasons of Dr. Quinn, finishing up before this new movie aired. Joe looks so distinguished with his short salt and pepper hair. Jane is gorgeous as always. Thank you, Lifetime, for filming and airing this long-awaited movie.
Really good movie
I am a rom com fan and I didn't think I would like this one.
However, this movie threw me for a loop because I found it very entertaining. The mature couple played by Jane and Joe really had wonderful chemistry. Outside of the breaking of the tree topper (which was unnecessary), the movie was going at a great pace. The script doesn't wait till the end to have the lead characters some emotions. Also, the discussion around starting one's second chapter resonated.
Don't let the low ratings from others stop you from seeing this movies. It has great Christmas feels and the lead actors make it worth the watch.
