Where Are You, Christmas? (2023 TV Movie)
7/10
Christmas in black, white and colour - great fun.

Lyndsy Fonseca is two for two as far as Hallmark Christmas movies go. She follows up 2021's Next Stop Christmas (which was brilliant) with what will surely be one of the most inventive Hallmark movies of the 2023 festive season, 'Where Are You Christmas?'

Certainly borrowing a little from Pleasantville (imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, remember...), Fonseca plays Addie who returns to her hometown for Christmas and there wishes for a world without Christmas. Lo and behold, thanks to a pesky Christmas app, she wakes up in a black and white world where no one knows what Christmas is, and where everyone thinks Addie is going crazy, her family included. It's a race against time to make everyone remember Christmas, turning them colour again. She is aided by the town's mechanic, Hunter (Michael Rady) who might just hold the key to everything...

The two leads have good chemistry and the storyline is just different enough to the usual Christmas small town homecoming theme to make it memorable. Fonseca is beautiful and an engaging actress. If her first two Hallmark Christmas films are anything to go by, she is going to have a long and successful career. Here's hoping we don't need to wait another two years for her to make a Christmas film.
