Why?
Christmas time and Hallmark are almost synonymous at this point.
What in the world?
A woman has to help sell her old crush's uncle's gingerbread store/bakery. She ends up reconnecting with her old crush.
Personal thoughts
The gingerbread in this movie was magic and granted people wishes. An example of this is a hockey kid getting into college on a hockey scholarship. That was pretty neat but this movie was crazy. I mean there was something called a gingerbread obstacle course. I assume that you think it's an obstacle course made of gingerbread but no. It's a gingerbread house making obstacle course with bounce house obstacles. It was crazy. The movie had a weird timeline. It showed the guy getting his uncle's stall ready for the event and then it cut to the lady putting the staff badges into their little sleeves with her mom after that. That doesn't make any sense chronologically but whatever.
Score
I have to give this movie a 4 out of 10. The plot was interesting and it was nice to see some other cultural activities for Christmas. In this movie I think the culture was Spanish. It was just nice to see some diverse Christmas traditions from different cultures in Hallmark. These people in the movies are monsters for a reason unrelated to culture. They would never say what they were drinking but it was usually hot chocolate. Hot chocolate is on our bingo boards and you don't know how much they taunted us throughout this movie. Anyway, the main people were interesting enough to make the movie not feel as long as it was.
