Evengyny Thanks for the memories!

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Matho The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

HotToastyRag Danica McKellar stars as a department store manager desperate to get ahead in the company in My Christmas Dream. Since this is a Hallmark Christmas movie, the odds are good that she'll learn what's really important and probably find love along the way. The only problem is you probably won't care about either outcome because she's pretty unlikable. Her character is written to be rather bland, but her performance is what turns the audience against her. Her acting leaves much to be desired, and as she falls in love with David Haydn-Jones, a single dad, it's pretty unbelievable that she's willing and able to take on motherhood. She's not even believable as a successful career woman.That criticism aside, if you're a sucker for anything Hallmark at Christmastime—it's okay, I am, too—you'll probably end up sitting through My Christmas Dream at some point during the holidays. It's not the all-time worst film the channel has ever produced, but you'll groan your way through and be glad when it's over. Make lots of popcorn and heap on the Christmas cookies; you'll need it.

kz917-1 Danica McKellar stars as the manager of a large department store trying to come up with the 25th annual Christmas display just twelve days before Christmas. She's also in the running to manage the new store in Paris, her dream city. She tasks a painter and local artist to help with the display and begins falling for him and his young son. Cute movie but with a theme that's been done one too many times.

Amy Adler Christina (Danica McKellar) is the top manager in a midsize town for a department store called McDougalls. Christmas is approaching and this pretty exec is a bit stressed. For one, she has to develop their annual Xmas window display but has been unable to hatch a good idea. Then, she gets word that the chain store's founder, Victoria (Deirdre Hall) is coming to look things over. Ouch. Thank the Lord for her bright and cheery assistant, Holly (Christine Lee). Normally a workaholic, Christina has no time for a personal life. As Victoria is arriving, Chrissy has an unfortunate accident with a can of falling white paint. The culprit, single dad Kurt (David Haydn-Jones) has been a great worker and instantly apologizes. But, Christina is miffed. When Henry, the custodial manager, decides to let Kurt go, she does nothing to save Kurt's job. This is not the Christmas spirit at all! Two other matters occur at once. Victoria announces that they are seeking a head honcho for a new store in Paris. A Francophile, Christina soon yearns for this job. But, first, she has to deal with an unhappy six year old customer, Cooper (Christian Convery) who gets to Santa's throne a few minutes too late. What's the little boy's wish? To make his Dad happy this holiday season! Christina promises Cooper that she will relay the message to Santa but, ho ho ho, it turns out Cooper's father is the fired Kurt! By hook or by crook, Cooper arranges meetings for Christina and Kurt, for the little lad is smitten with the pretty manager himself. Can love snow down on a Christmas match? But, wait, what about Chrissy's Paris hopes? This lovely film is a new entry in the glorious Hallmark repertoire of Holiday movies. Very welcome it is! McKellar and Haydn-Jones make good love vibrations, being talented and attractive, while Convery is simply a doll. Deirdre Hall never ages and is also very fine as the kind but demanding boss. Other wishes fulfilled are nice sets, costumes, a sweet script and a sure direction. How many fans are there for Hallmark romantic movies? It must be in the billions by now and they will like this one, too!

Christmas-Reviewer Christina, the manager of McDougal's flagship department store, is determined to land the manager position for their new Paris location. She sets out to impress Victoria, the store's owner, by creating the best holiday display in McDougal's history. However on the day she is to meet Victoria the imperatively dressed Christina gets paint spilled on her by a worker in the department store that she manages. He gets abruptly fired. However later on their paths cross again and Victoria ends up needing this man she just fired to help her with a Christmas window display. If this display rocks upper management she then will get to live her dream a manage a store in Paris. Now this film is good. My major complaint is that the film shows that women are forced between "Career and Family". Many successful women in the past 50 years have managed to do both. This film however makes it look like that "If you don't have a family you are never happy". For once I would like to see a Christmas movie where the woman does choose a career but it also happy with that choice. Trust me that would make a great Christmas film!
