This film has things going for it. The characters are really likable, and the actors portray them well. The romance is quite believable. Also the film has a great look of Christmas ( something you should expect from these movies. All this is quite good and very enjoyable. However on the downside, the movie is as formulaic as it can be. There is no way someone who has seen similar movies before, can't tell you everything that is going to happen. This movie just simply has the feeling that you have seen it before.
The story involves two people who hate Christmas (played by Jaime King and Luke MacFarland), who both hate Christmas. They make a pact to help themselves get though the Christmas season. They end up falling in love, and find themselves enjoying Christmas for once.
The film was directed by David Winning. This is not the first made for TV Christmas movie he has directed. He has also directed The Magic Stocking, The Tree That Saved Christmas and Paper Angles.
Overall this is a fun movie, even if it as formulaic as possible.
