This is a cute - but predictable - holiday movie from Hallmark about a couple keeping secrets during their first Christmas together.
I enjoyed the fast pace and supporting cast, but was annoying by one thing: they made the wife "a cute little idiot" in order for the story to work. At the beginning of the film, they showed us that she was a smart and competent woman with a good marriage, her own house, and a career of her own. However, the same character turns into a stupid little idiot over and over again, by leaving a suitcase behind, canceling a hotel reservation for no good reason, and burning a pan of lasagna (after specifically being told to take it out of the oven in 10 minutes).
By the end of the movie, I was completely annoyed by the "cute little idiot" messing things up, which isn't what the writers were going for. It would have been a far better movie if she hadn't been responsible for every mistake and the blame had been spread around among the other characters.
