Why does Hallmark always add "snow" onto green leaves in these movies? The story line is weak. Yet, the star is we'll known from "Good Witch," the character isn't the one for her. It's predictable. So boring I almost fell asleep.

Why is the Shop owner so lacking in business sense and not embarrassed or concerned by all of the dangers in her building? Also, why not call out the dude for being on the phone while she put up the untouchable lighthouse tree topper? Talk about being set up and SHE apologizes...So, she should bow down because he's sentimental over an ornament but she should just shut down the shop she's inherited from her dead mother? Old man was a caricature grumpy old Scrooge.

I love most every Hallmark Christmas movie and to watch every new release, but this was a fail. Horrible story and writing. Trevor and other acting was good but nothing at all up lifting. Writers should be publicly flogged for this amd shame on you Hallmark.

Poorly acted, directed and written. Pure waste of my time. Kept waiting for it to get good. Unfortunately it doesn't. The lead male actor should find another occupation or he will starve. He'd be great working at Starbucks.

While the acting was fine (at least by the two leads) The fact that not a single person in the movie had anything close to a Massachusetts / Nantucket accent is rather frustrating. Also, where were all the cranberries and scrod?

This movie will be watched again and again in my household; I found it to be really uplifting as well as visually beautiful. The story may be a little familiar (the developer taking over friendly mom and pop stores) but it's approached in a somewhat different manner and well written. As to the actors, I found the whole cast to be exceptionally well chosen. Sarah Power and Trevor Donovan made excellent leads, and the young girl (Payton Lepinski) was perfect. Overall, this movie was lovely, comforting and everything we enjoy in a Hallmark production.

We live and work in Nantucket every summer. I actually give walking tours of the downtown, so we know the island very well. The location in this movie is NOT Nantucket. After looking it up on IMDB, this movie was filmed in British Columbia and neither the town nor the surroundings looks anything like Nantucket. Since the setting was the whole reason we watched the movie, we ended up turning it off after about 20 minutes. Nantucket is so picturesque, unique, and interesting - it's a shame they didn't choose to film the movie there. Hallmark, please don't set movies in one place and film them in another. It's very disappointing.

There's one way to judge if a movie is a Christmas movie - the substitution test. If you could put any holiday in the place of Christmas and the movie still works, it's not a Christmas movie. This was a story that could have taken place anytime of year. Just because they pick out a tree (get to know you) or decorate gingerbread houses (the stuffed shirt has a heart) doesn't mean I get the Christmas feels. :(
