Mia (Haylie Duff) is a hardworking employee at a Christmas themed store “Hats of to Christmas” She’s been working hard for 10 years, so when she’s called into the owner’s office she’s expecting a promotion, but is stunned to be asked to train the next CEO the owner’s son Nick (Antonio Cupo) who’s a New York financial whiz and not very happy to be returning to Dad’s store. But the bank is after them and the store may be lost unless Nick can do his magic and save the store. But there is a lot of friction between Mia and Nick as his attitude leaves a lot to be desired. But Mia’s son Scotty (Sean Michael Kyer) takes a liking to Nick, forcing Mom to reconsider her dislike for him.
This new film from Hallmark is a new 2013 Christmas movie and another good one. It’s very similar to a lot of other Christmas stories in that it’s someone trying to save the quirky Christmas store from the evil bankers, and it’s another holiday romance, but it’s still pretty good. We can tell where the talent landed in the Duff family. Haylie has been in several new Christmas films this year, and is very warm and does a good job getting us to like her. Nick is truly two people, because he can be a crass and callous as a NYC financial guy one minute, and truly sweet and considerate. But Nick is actually is a really good guy, who just needs to learn that about himself. All in all it was a nice little movie.
