Trivia
Easter Egg. After the auction, the camera focuses on a Merry & Bright Candy Cane sign. Merry & Bright (2019) is another Hallmark movie produced in 2019 starring Jodie Sweetin and Andrew W. Walker centered on candy cane manufacturing company, Merry & Bright.

Goofs
When Merry makes her s'more, the marshmallow is soft and cooked as she squishes the two graham crackers together. In a subsequent shot as she fumbles around with it in her hands just before she is ready to eat it, the marshmallows can be seen as "not cooked" and not soft anymore in being intact and whole instead of melded together.

Quotes
Adam Walters: Hey, Merry is just out of an imaginary relationship, Darlene.
Merry Griffin: There we go.
Darlene Walters: And that is your business because...
Adam Walters: Because her heart is still mending. You really think she's ready to meet somebody real?

Worth Watching For Hallmark Devotees

Merry (Rachael Leigh Cook) goes to Vermont for the holidays to escape her problems. She has written a self-help book about relationships that is based on a fabrication and her publisher is demanding a rewrite. While away from the city, she reconnects with Chris (Travis Van Winkle), a free-spirited altruist who rubs her the wrong way. When her publisher follows her to Vermont, it looks like Merry's holiday will be a bust.

Cook does a fine job playing the lovable dork. Her awkwardness around Van Winkle works well to make this film a comedy-based romance. Like all Hallmark romances, the end results are fairly predictable, but solid acting by the entire cast keeps the story enjoyable.
