One could imagine the writers scripting this movie to the melody of Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker: Waltz of the Flowers. It flows like a masterpiece from beginning to end. The actors and actresses were well suited for their roles.

Kate Holiday (Melissa Joan Hart) transforms from an overwhelmed shopkeeper into a free spirit with the help of the magic of Chip, "The Nutcracker" (Barry Watson).

With Kate's ex-boyfriend as antagonist, Kate frees herself from the bonds of routine drudgery. Her life experience ascends like the dreams of Cinderella. The cinematography, sets, wardrobes and costume designs were faithful to the genre of a new holiday classic "feel good" movie that is delightful for all ages.

After the premiere, my wife simply said, "this movie made me feel happy"!
