• Here we have two girls on a road trip who keep running into ..... Santa Claus? Well, Kris Kringle, anyway.

    He continues to detour the two girls in a way that might have been creepy if you didn't have the comfort of knowing you're in a Hallmark movie.

    The two girls keep running into and traveling with the same two guys, one of whom, Cory Sevier, was in one of our favorites from last year, Noel Next Door. He was great in that movie, but was given much less to work with here.

    Separately, each of the parts of this movie are charming and friendly. Placed end to end, they don't make a compelling story.
