For me, the actors were very good and it was refreshing to see new faces. Much was typical and predictable for Hallmark but it still had its own charm--due to the two lead actors. I give the acting 10 stars and the writers a 7 or so. Some things should have been developed more or explored. The father-son relationship and their business, for one. And "the lie" thing was a bit off course. But the strong acting by each of the characters carried it for me. I especially liked the naturalness of the actors. However, the excess of Xmas adornments always clutters up the story and scenes. Really! Who does this!? Again, kudos to the actors. Producers & directors could invest a little more interest. The writer provides the premise. Can't the actors and directors participate in pre-production to make it a little more unique and plausible. Maybe Hallmark needs to cut down the number of new, annual productions and devote more consideration to the end product. Admittedly, we all love and look forward to these "feel good" stories. (this was the 2nd time I watched it. I had forgotten that I saw it 2017)
