A romantic Christmas movie review & recommendation, just in time for Christmas!
Have you ever dialed a wrong phone number and unexpectedly ended up talking to a nice person you don't personally know?
These days, phone calls are often replaced by emails or text messaging. Sending a text to the wrong person is not unheard of. Usually we send text messages to someone on our saved contact list, but it would certainly be possible to send a text message to the wrong person if you are trying to remember a phone number off the top of your head. Especially if you have a new phone without your contacts added.
Thus is the premise of the movie, "Twas the Text Before Christmas".
When a grandmother inadvertently sends a text message meant for her granddaughter to a stranger, she ends up making friends with the kindhearted woman who replies to the text. This is just the beginning of what ends up being a chance for fun, family, and romance.
Twas the Text Before Christmas Movie Synopsis
Addie (Merritt Patterson) has a good job, a loving father and brother, and an ex-boyfriend. Christmas this year is expected to be a rather lonely time for her because her father will be spending Christmas in Australia with her brother. Even though she is invited to join friends in Florida, that trip would be too expensive since she is trying to save for her own vacation in Australia.
When Addie receives a text message from an unknown person, she decides to respond to let them know that they have the wrong number. After exchanging a few messages with a sweet grandmother who meant to be texting her granddaughter, she receives a phone call from "Nana" who opts to call her instead of continuing the texting. After talking a few times, Nana invites Addie to join her family for Christmas. Since it would only be a 4 hour drive to Vermont, she decides to accept and makes a reservation for 1 night at the local Inn.
When she arrives for Christmas dinner, she is introduced to Nana's family which includes the granddaughter Nana originally intended to text, as well as her son, James.
After 3 years, Addie, Nana, and the whole family are close friends and Christmas together has become a new tradition. It is not really surprising when Addie & James discover a they have deeper feelings for each other.
Where to Watch "Twas the Text Before Christmas"
I watched "Twas the Text Before Christmas" on Frndly TV, however the Great American Channel now has their own streaming service available at PureFlix.com which thrills me! When I told my husband about the new streaming service, he happily gifted me with an annual subscription to PureFlix for Christmas. I am guaranteed a year's worth of wonderful movies and I am pretty excited to start watching them.
You can also subscribe to PureFlix through Amazon or directly at Pureflix.com.
