Trivia
The song in Christmas Island is "Hurry Up Christmas" by Hunter Girl. It was also used during Hallmark's Christmas in July promotions for this season. Many people were searching for the artist, and here it is.

Goofs
The flight is grounded due to a huge storm that lasts many days, but the weather is completely perfect and clear during their stay. Ironically, it only starts snowing when the flight is finally cleared to depart.

Quotes
Helen Sharpe: Am I ever going to say anything right to her?
Thomas Sharpe: She's 15, so I'm going to say no.

Christmas Island is worth the visit

No matter who is co-star is - and there have been some very good ones - Andrew Walker is such a surefire bet for Hallmark. Has he ever made a bad movie for them? I don't think so. He is great here with Rachel Skarsten.

Christmas Island tells the story of a VIP jet pilot (Skarsten's Captain Kate Gabriel) and the family she is flying to Europe for Christmas ending up getting waylaid at Christmas Island in Nova Scotia. Enter Walker's Oliver, playing the town's air traffic controller.

It turns out that Christmas Island is like your standard small town that you know well from multiple Hallmark movies, so all the old tropes are there...just on an island. Still, Walker's performance makes the cliches seem less cliched.

Aside from the inevitable romance between Kate and Oliver - their chemistry is good, so that's a box ticked - there is a good message in this movie about time spent with family during the holidays.
