Yes everything about this movie is predictable, but so is every Hallmark movie. I miss Hallmark's regular scheduled late at night program during the holidays and I don't care for most of the Christmas movies, but this one is one of my favorites.
There's just something about it. From the second the movie starts, Chris and his kids are people you want to be happy. You can tell he's a great dad who doesn't have much happiness in his life since his wife died. Even Shannon Elizabeth's character Nikki is someone you want good things for. There's just something about reconnecting with your high school sweetheart. This doesn't have many good reviews on IMDb but I think it's great.

Plot summary
Nikki Crandon is one of the biggest pop stars on the planet. Whether she's singing the National Anthem or promoting her latest album, everyone knows who she is—none more so than New Jersey high school basketball coach and widower Chris Mitchell, who was Nikki's first love in high school. When Chris' 10-year-old daughter Sophie finds out her dad still has feelings for the singer, she takes matters into her own hands. With her 8-year-old brother Jackson in tow, Sophie succeeds in reuniting the two. But when a misunderstanding and the growing glare of the public spotlight threaten Chris and Nikki's happiness, one can only wonder: will fame get in the way of a Merry Christmas?

Beautiful Romantic Christmas Movie
Great job on this movie, Hallmark. I love Shannon Elizabeth's songs and voice. She has the voice of an angel. I love all the actors chosen. A beautiful, romantic Christmas movie. I look forward to this movie every year.

Dad Chris Marshall did not stand a fighting chance against the will of his two kids and Kismet
This is a cute romantic Christmas themed film that Mrs. Shullivan and I have now watched it twice as it was such a FEEL GOOD film the first time we decided to watch it this Christmas season again. Widower Chris Marshall has been busy and pre-occupied raising his two children Sophie and carrot top Jackson on his own for the past five (5) years with little regard given to his own personal life taking a backstage to any romantic involvement.
After five (5) years since Chris's wife passed away his two children find out from their Uncle Jason (Billy MacLellan) that their dad and the number one (1) singing star in the country Nikki Crandon (Shannon Elizabeth) were teenage first crush's so they decide to play Cupid and get them back together again.
Fame can be both a blessing and a curse and Nikki and Chris rekindle their once very strong relationship only to have Nikki's fame get in the way once more. But this being the Christmas season and family and love being important to all you can guess how this film ends can't you? Hey, we watched it twice so it is well worth watching at least once. I give it a favorable IMDb rating of a 6 out of 10.
