Saying Yes to Christmas

The premise is like so many others. An assistant editor gets a chance to be full editor if she lands a new writer. Sent back to her home town, she runs into a childhood friend and ends up doing all the usual Christmas things with him. Meanwhile, he's trying to convince his dad to update their business. There is a twist from the usual though and that's the magic wish. Her friend wishes that she "says yes to Christmas" and it comes true. She literally has to say yes to anything Christmas.

Other than that twist, it is totally by formula and totally predictable.

As I often say, when the story is the same old stuff, the movie must succeed in the relationship. Erika Prevost and Romaine Waite have definite chemistry and they get plenty of screen time together. Prevost's resume is somewhat short and I've never seen her before, but she is very appealing both in personality and looks. She's younger than many of the leads on Lifetime and Hallmark Christmas movies, so here's to seeing more of her.
