I love Hallmark movies, but seriously, I've seen more coherent plots in Armed Forces Network commercials. And yes, I know it's Hallmark so my expectations were not particularly high. I thought Kayla Wallace did a good job given what little she had to work with. One star for what looked like real snow.

Lots of chemistry and a really sweet story told in this family friendly Holiday movie. Reminds us of the many sacrifices that our Military personnel and their families make all of the time and especially at Christmas.

Sweet movie, but lacking in more story, and the biggest problem was definitely the military issues. As my husband said, "If this was a drinking game to drink whenever you find an error, you'd be on the floor before the movie was done." He was in the Army & Air Force for 20 years, and is a military history aficionado. Even I noticed that there was too much long hair and facial hair for any of the US military. My husband noticed too many points to mention, (or completely understand) including all of the military vehicles with civilian plates. Please hire someone to get these things correct! My husband, along with several other US Vets are available!

I am a fan of this director, Andrew Cymek, and he has directed yet another wonderful movie. The story covered a five year period of a blossoming love story. The two lovers are separated much of the time because of the one character's Army responsibilities. It is a tale of love, loss, duty, and the beautiful Christmas spirit, realistically portrayed by a talented cast. Kevin McGarry is Luke the soldier, Kayla Wallace is the journalist ,Taylor, who learns what's truly important in life and magical at Christmas. I was a puddle of tears twice in the movie as these two delivered a magnificent performance that reminded me of the quality we used to see in Hallmark Hall of Fame productions of years past. It is a shame that there were so darn many commercials we had to sit through in order to watch the movie ,and I am certain more magic between these two actors was left on the cutting room floor because of it. Do yourself a favor and experience this new Christmas classic. You will love the dance, I promise. I loved it.

Me and my wife enjoy watching Hallmark movies. We don't expect epic productions, with multimillion dollar graphics budgets. We understand fully what these movies are about. We enjoy them. But this movie takes the Oscar for epic writing by the young adult category. Let me explain, while in some movies you may find errors like v8 sounds on Teslas or things that move from scene to scene. These errors happen, sometimes you can't afford multiple editors. But here, this takes it to the next level, willingly. These actors really had to work hard at not laughing or crying. Having been placed in epic situations by some of the most epicly bad military command in history. They did great. In this universe, the military command of well groomed, shampooed hair operations are ready to take on the bad guys. Soldiers are sent to remote special ops to dark bases which can only be reached by teleportation (or heli) once a year. Around Christmas. Our hero is determined to complete his mission. The Army while claiming to be training some of the most hardened soldiers for WW3, seem to place critical infrastructure in random mountain places unlocked in trail cameras. While evading bears (or whatever is in these mountains) certainl radio signals are also lost. When one soldier crashes in the woods, since there is nobody equipped to find the soldiers in the epic snow storm, Army command decides to call in their best... From thousands .. of miles ...away. Time is of the essence. Or not. These poor soldiers stranded in a mountain that eats radio waves are most likely popsicles for wildlife by now. Our hero however, bending time and space gets there in 20 minutes. Hair intact having skipped his wedding. To make it better, his soon to be wife also makes it there just to see them come back from the mountain rescue. The soldiers tired and limping from what looks like perhaps a pulled hamstring. But when it comes to communication with soldiers, pay attention to the official Army command letter. The Army has a 10 year old with scissors sending out their special ops letters. Overall. This completes the trifecta for a great movie. Get ready for a brain bending, drink inducing epic love story. This army of great hair special ops and his lonely, very lonely Christmas writer will keep you hooked through this epic Hallmark movie.

Cute movie. Love these two together. They are dating in real life. I had trouble with the timeline. The last 20 minutes seemed to happen to all in one day when it should've been a week.

We all know Hallmark movies can be sappy but this one takes the cake. First of all, the lead actor is in the military. Why doesn't he have a military cut? I just can't. Secondly, are we waiting 1 or 2 yrs for them to be together? It gets lost in translation. The acting is really good and you can feel the chemistry between the two actors. No way in hell if your loved one is on a mission is anyone going to allow you to go to that location. I mean, come on Hallmark. Make it believable. And why did they have the wedding outside in the freezing cold?? That was ridiculous for all of the actors to have to endure.

What can I say about this movie. It had it all, epic love story, heartbreak, being in a relationship with a person in the military. That dance brought tears to my eyes. Andrew did a great job directing this movie. This was probably one of my favorite Christmas movies in about 3 years. OH and they got married in the end...Worth the watch!

This movie is wonderfully written, the cast knocks it out of the park, so much heart and wonderful moments. I just watched it again! As an Ex-Army wife, it really nails it (minus the "her going to the training camp 😂😂😂)!!! Straight through the heart!!!

I have always loved the song, My Grown-Up Christmas List, and I was looking forward to the movie. But the actor who played Luke didn't seem to want to breathe life into the character. I felt he "phoned it in" and didn't really try to be a great actor in this movie. With all the other talented Hallmark actors to choose from, I wish you had chosen another of your actors to play this part.
