With Laura Osnes and Christoper Russell starring as the main characters, I expected it to be a great, relaxing Christmas movie. I was not disappointed! As a matter of fact, this movie definitely got me in the mood to cook. The opening scenes alone made me want to pull out my pans and start baking.
The Great American Family channel has become my favorite movie channel. They offer heartwarming, clean and wholesome movies, which can be somewhat predictable. Since most movies are predictable, that doesn't really bother me. It actually makes them easier to watch, especially if I am cleaning or cooking.
Streaming movies also makes watching easier. If I miss part of the
dialog, or an important scene, I can easily go back immediately and pick up
where I left off.
GAF (also known as GAC Family) is available on several streaming services
including Frndly TV,
which is my preferred streaming service on the list. That channel
alone makes subscribing to Frndly TV worth the cost, but they are also home
to television classics and more than a dozen other popular TV channels.
This is the first Christmas movie I have watched this year and it was a great place to start. I look forward to seeing more of the Christmas movies presented this season by the Great American Family channel.
A Dash of Christmas Movie Synopsis
When Megan Blake accepts a severance package from the new owners of the company where she worked, she finds herself at a crossroads in life. At 33, she is too young to retire, but she isn't sure what she will do next. She has already contacted a recruiter, so perhaps something will present itself soon. Going home for the holidays seems like a good start. Plus, she will get to spend Christmas with her sister and niece. That is something she has never been able to do before.
Megan's trip home starts with a bit of a snag when her ride doesn't show up
before the train station closes. She walks to a lighted area to wait
for the car and ends up standing in front of Hometown Bakery where her "good
deed" causes a problem for the owner. He has left his delivery truck
door open while he runs inside to grab the boxes to deliver. When
Megan sees the truck door standing open, but no one around, she decides to
close and lock the door. When the owner comes out with his hands full
of boxes, it all becomes clear, but now he needs help getting back into his
truck.
Aaron McBay owns Hometown Bakery where he bakes, offers baking classes, and
makes his own deliveries. However, trying to carry too many boxes to
his delivery truck at once, can be dangerous for the baked goods, especially
if his truck door is locked.
As in many great romance movies, there is an instant attraction between two strangers. The opportunity for further acquaintance is clearly essential and what better than one of them needing help from the other. Needing each other's help actually happens a few times in this movie and makes for a very enjoyable show. While their final "decisions" may be expected, it is still a heartwarming and delightful movie to watch.
