It's Christmastime in Middleton and Cassie Nightingale (Catherine Bell) is preparing for her Christmas Eve wedding to Chief Russell (Chris Potter). But she still finds time to help her loved ones with their problems, as well as help former nemesis Martha Tinsdale (Catherine Disher) start a new career and help an ex-con get a fresh start. Another highly enjoyable Good Witch TV movie; the third in the series. This one has a seasonal theme, which is great for me as I'm a sucker for anything Christmas. The cast is likable and fun, as they were in the two movies prior to this. Catherine Disher is a treat to watch. If you liked the first two movies, I see no reason you won't like this one.

Another cute movie by Hallmark. Perfect for the holiday's!! Although predictable, they should make more of these light hearted movies. They are just perfect for any age. Catherine is so sweet at Cassandra Nightingale. Maybe not an award-winning movie but just right for watching with the family during the Christmas season!! Can't wait to see what they have for us next year!!My question is, where the heck can I get my hands on any of the sweaters Catherine Bell is wearing in this movie? They are fantastic!! There isn't any information available on the wardrobe used in this movie. Is this available anywhere?

Traditional holiday fanfare courtesy of the Hallmark Channel.This is a continuation of the story of a witch and how she has helped the people of her local town. Engaged to the town sheriff, the story is basically how their attempts to set a wedding date are always thwarted and when they set the date for Christmas eve, events just don't seem to go their way and it appears that the ceremony will have to be postponed.It's also a story of a former bank robber who comes back to the town after he is released from prison in an attempt to reconnect with his ex-wife and daughter.As is the case with most Hallmark films at holiday time, it's a story basically of redemption and human kindness. A pleasure to see that violence is missing.

As we enter chapter three of the Cassie and Jake saga, they are still engaged, still exchanging chaste kisses, and still trying to plan their wedding. With Christmas less than a week away, Jake exhibits some uncharacteristic spontaneity, and proposes a Christmas Eve ceremony. Hectic preparations commence.This entry in the series continues the theme of the appearance in town of a suspicious "stranger", in this case a bank robber whom Jake sent to prison a decade earlier on a fifteen-year sentence. Released for good behavior two days earlier, town folk in general, and Sheriff Jake in particular, wonder why he's returned and what he's up to. Could it be to retrieve the loot from the robbery which was never found? Or does it somehow involve his ex-wife and child, who still live in town?Mystery, magic, and redemption have been essential elements of the Good Witch series, and this entry continues the theme. Cassandra Nightingale is one of the most intuitive characters ever committed to film, and in this one, her powers are in full force, always reading people perfectly, and always finding subtle ways to steer them in the right direction.As the standing characters in this series continue to become more fully-developed, one supports the wish for additional entries in the Good Witch series, whether as a weekly TV drama or simply in the form of more full-length movies. This reviewer got his wish for the return of Elizabeth Lennie's Gwen, introduced in the previous movie as a love interest for "Grandpa" George O'Hanrahan (Peter MacNeill). (Old guys need love, too.) Even town busybody Martha Tinsdale (Catherine Disher) is becoming (gasp!) likable.Co-executive producer and star, Catherine Bell, has said, "This character is closer to me, personally, than any character I've ever played." This, plus the sight of her in one fantastic wedding gown, with striking diamond (?) necklace, makes at least one male viewer wish he were "Jake".Thus, even if the Good Witch series ends in a trilogy, as many movie series do, The Good Witch's Gift will have it going out on top.
