Christopher Russell plays “Clay,” who shows up in a quaint town as fake snow begins to fall on what’s clearly a studio lot – immediately signaling what kind of movie this is going to be. He's there to assist with the opening of a new big-box store, which promises jobs and economic improvement for the local residents. Simultaneously, the “Roberts” family farm is struggling; “Scott” (Matt Visser) repeatedly informs his sister “Jessica” (Maggie Lawson) that they’re close to losing everything! The arrival of this new establishment, especially one managed by his former friend "Xavier" (Ian Collins), would only make their situation worse. With the stage set, we're then subjected to a drawn-out and somewhat tangled sequence where Jessica and Clay meet, followed by their budding romance, leading up to Clay’s eventual explanation for being there. Will she be able to accept his reasons? Is a resolution possible as the vital Christmas market looms large for both her family and his career? As for the ending? Really, you can probably guess what happens. I didn't dislike this film; it’s your standard holiday melodrama, complete with some very mild humor (mostly present at the beginning) and just a suggestion of an unresolved tension between Scott and Xavier that feels underdeveloped. It’s unlikely you’ll remember having watched it, but it provides inoffensive entertainment to have on while you wrap presents, decorate, or simply doze off during December.
