Mariah Carey directs and has a side part as an overbearing head PTA mom with mean girl attitude.Lacey Chabert is the lead a designer that must move home from LA to Ohio as her business failed.Skip It!

Lacey Chabert and Brennan Elliott are the leads in this Christmas movie. What could be better than reuniting the All of My Heart duo, right? Well surprise because the answer is Fina Strazza. This kid is so cute. Her face is adorable and she knows how to use it on screen. She can sing too. And she is totally the star of this movie. Seriously - you have to see this girl.Chabert and Elliott do their job too. Clearly they work well together. At least this time they didn't throw paint.Mariah Carey plays a really arrogant and just plain mean mom who thinks everything is about her kid.The story is just too sweet. Lots of great things happen. Many will say it is too sappy, but one person's sappy is another person's perfect Christmas movie.

My wife loved this movie,me not so much. Within the 1st 30 minutes I knew they would stay in Ohio and not go back to LA. I knew the mother would get romantically involved with the music teacher. I also knew that all things would end up happy and the movie would end. So many Christmas movies especially on Hallmark Channel end up this way. It would have been a better movie if I could not predict the ending almost from the beginning. Also Tom the janitor it was so obvious he was playing Santa Claus. It was just so syrupy sweet and not like real life. I'd like to see some conflict in the movie. Of course there was the PTA mother that was so negative but at the end that worked out as well when her daughter got the best costume.

''A Christmas Melody'' is a new Hallmark Channel's movie. Fashion designer Kristin Parson (Lacey Chabert) sells her house in LA, and with her daughter, she is coming home, in town, where she used to live as a child. In Silver Falls, Ohio, she meets a music teacher Danny Collier (Brennan Elliott), who had a crash on her, since they were a kids. Now, Danny is Emiliy's (Fina Strazza) teacher. It's a nice movie. Mariah Carey, as a director did a good job. I really love Lacey Chabert and Brennan Elliott, think that they were amazing. Fina Strazza is a surprise for me. At the end, nice movie, with very good actors.
