Why?
We had seen a preview for this during a different Hallmark movie and decided that we just had to watch it.
What in the world?
A reporter and Santa's son team up to help each other complete their early morning Christmas must dos.
Personal thoughts
I actually thought this movie was pretty good. I mean it kept me entertained and it had twists and turns that I was not expecting. Example was the Santa crooks fixing their marriage. I understand that doesn't make much sense and it doesn't have to. Just know that the Santa crooks fixed their marriage. Side thought. I don't know why this wasn't a Hallmark Movie and Mystery. It definitely had mystery to it because that was the entire film. This movie featured embezzlement, kidnapping, burglary, and breaking and entering. It was a good mix of Hallmark and action in my opinion.
Score
I have to give this movie a 7 out of 10. It's one of the best Hallmark movies I have seen in a while and it was just the right mix of bad and good. The theater troupe in the movie deserves a shout out because they were plugging their Tony's pizza that they get for good reviews. I don't know if they sponsored the movie but Tony's pizza got a lot of honorable mentions.
Watch what you love,
Your fellow film watcher
