Christmas by Design (TV Movie 2023)

Christmas by Design (TV Movie 2023). Christmas by Design: Directed by Max McGuire. With Rebecca Dalton, Jonathan Keltz, Joanna Douglas, Susan Hamann. A fashion designer learns what's most important in life when she joins a Christmas challenge to create a new holiday-themed collection.

“So far, Rebecca Dalton seems to have been cast as characters that have really rubbed me the wrong way. This one was no exception. She plays a snotty little pill in this movie who is not rehabilitated until the last 15 minutes or so. She is mean and rude to her newish stepfather, dismissive of her nice family, and looks down on the townspeople in her small town because she is all so important and cool as a NEW YORK CITY semi-successful fashion designer. She also hurts the guy who has been so nice and helpful to her by disparaging him to her friend when she doesnu0026#39;t know he is listening.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnd havenu0026#39;t been too fond of her leading man either. He was actually pretty good in this one except for some reason, they have injected the info that he is the hometown hunk who is the object of desire of all of the cute single women in town. But at least he doesnu0026#39;t play a prince this time. In looks and stature heu0026#39;s kind on the wispy side compared to the usual Hallmark leading man. As kind of a humble sad widower seeking peace and healing in his new town, he was fine. He also comes across as quick witted and intelligent.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBecause she was such an unlikable character in the beginning it made her repentance and rehabilitation that much more satisfying. Thatu0026#39;s all I came to say except that I wish they would use Joanna Douglas more often. I really like her. And the pajamas designed for the contest were spectacularly ugly.”
