Hallmark Movies and Mysteries tends to do much complex (and better movies(. And this is no exception.Adelaide, a country star is tired of being told what to do regarding her career, so when she sees the opportunity to stay for a while in this family farm with an adorable family she takes it, and grows personally and therefore, professionally.My favorite aspect of this movie is that it is not centered on the romance but on Adelaide's development and her relationship not with Dillon but with his entire family and the family farm. I'm also glad that the plot took another direction, different as usual, and that Dillon discovered who she was almost at the beginning of the story. I really like the script. It wasn't corny and it had a few funny comebacks. So, points for that. Kevin and Becca had great chemistry between themselves and even with the actors who were part of the family, who contributed so much to the story. Even though I knew how the story was going to develop, I had a very good time watching it.

A singing star gets snowbound in a town and falls in love with the guy whose family owns a Christmas Tree farm. At least there isn't too much contrived drama. But there isn't much of anything.

I don't listen to country music, but as far as I know this is exactly the kind of stuff that passes for quality nowadays. All the Christmas points are dotted and it seemed to work. Although, the lead fellow needs to have his hair messed up a bit. Too much product.

Traffic jams and weather problems delay them in returning and even after that she decides to make it difficult for them to find her.Meanwhile, Addie finds an extremely friendly and giving family, most of whom don't know who she is. Of course the family is about to lose their farm. Most of the movie focuses on Addie falling love with the family, and with Dillon, and trying to help as they fight to hold on. There is no hidden lie between her and Dillon since he figures out who she is early on.Becca Tobin and Kevin McGarry fall into an easy relationship founded on the characters' mutual love for music. All the actors in the family are real and lovable. Kendra Leigh Timmins is especially so as the teenage sister of Dillon who devises a vision for saving the farm. One acting or possibly directing criticism: the adoring fans with signs (as shown in previews) were lame.The story is about having courage to follow your dreams and is totally predictable but enjoyable.
