6/10 - another simply okay addition to this Hallmark franchise

First up, (Spoiler Alert!) it was nice to see a recap of the previous 3 Evergreen movies by Hannah. And it sets up the 3 conundrums of this story; Michelle and Thomas's wedding affected by the weather, Hannah and Elliot wanting different things, and the third member of the Cooper family trying to stop the Christmas Museum from being opened. Unfortunately not all the previous happy characters/actors could be in this movie because of the quarantine/filming restrictions, but at least we get to see Thomas (if only from afar!), a very grown up Zoe, and the wonderful David! Even appearances by Allie and Ezra help link all 4 movies. Believable acting by Rukiya Bernard and Antonio Cayonne as well as Holly Robinson Peete and a maturing Marlon Kazadi bring their stories a special realism. A good addition to the Evergreen story and hopefully if there's a 5th chapter, we get more of our favorite characters and a wedding!

Well, it's about time we got to see Hannah's story, but I still think that if you haven't seen the first three films that there is a lot you might be miffed about, as they reflect back on it a lot. And miracle of miracles, Zoe is back in this one, unfortunately, Brat that she is, but at least she's not in it much. Ryan is still noticeable for his absence however. I like the story of Hannah, who is a lovely character, striving to find her purpose in Evergreen, but I still think it would be more interesting if the lead decided that they would leave the town or if they decided that they didn't need someone else to make them happy, just for a change. It's not the best of the series so far, but I did feel for Hannah and her situation. I will be curious to see if 2021 brings another episode of an Evergreen Christmas, as although the stories are only so-so, you do find yourself getting involved in the little town and it's residents.

This is the best since the original Christmas in Evergreen Love the cast all good .

Wow Hallmark! I rarely review anything, but this was such a disappointment I couldn't resist. The actors were fine, but the writers messed up the story lines. There were too many loose ends. When did Ally and Ryan marry (and she's pregnant no less) and what are they doing in France! Wasn't Ryan supposed to be formerly established as the town's doctor? And there was no mention of Lisa (Jill Wagner) who bought Ms. Daisy's store - another main fixture of the Town of Evergreen! I hope there's at least one more Evergreen movie to clean up this last one!

I liked both of the leads. Great chemistry. I had a warm feeling watching it. I've seen the other Christmas in Evergreen movies, but to me this one is the best.

I was looking forward to another Evergreen installment, but this one fell flat. I'm sorry, but I was not even able to connect with the "main"actors. It look like amateur hour at Hallmark. Next!

The writing was terrible and the "blended cast" was more about being politically correct than it was about maintaining this franchise. The ONLY way Hallmark will save this franchise is by calling in the BIG GUNS like Lacey and Candace, in the same movie, who each independently visit Evegreen and help save Christmas in Evergreen when Nicks house burns down and the whole town (including all the prior big names) return to help Nick overcome his loss. My entire family and everyone we know rated this a 2 out of 10. No procession, prior big names a no show, and sorry HRP couldn't save this movie.
