“You donu0026#39;t have to be Alex to know where this is going.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHolly is adorable even when she doesnu0026#39;t speak or even smile. Thereu0026#39;s just something about her.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe main characters are appealing enough. Sean Faris and Eloise Mumford (who looks like Katherine Heigl to me) do a good enough job for Lifetime. This is a Hallmark Hall of Fame production, though, but theyu0026#39;re okay. Catherine Berube as the voice of reason probably does the best job of anyone.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe town is one of those pleasant small towns, but with a little more culture than Mayberry. The people there are nice for the most part.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe best moments involve Maggie and Holly and that tiny house where the fairy lives.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnd Maggie can Riverdance!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eItu0026#39;s a nice Christmas story, even of it doesnu0026#39;t quite reach the level of a Hallmark production.”
