“Daddy (Santa) lets his daughter leave The North Pole to go live on her. Welcome to Los Angeles where itu0026#39;s not so easy to have a wonderful yuletide feeling. Annie gets a job, transforms a business and falls in love, all of which adds up to a mountain of sugar-coated Christmasy schmaltz in its purest form. Whatu0026#39;s here is average at best but on the plus side it does have Christmas at its very core which makes it one of the better Christmastime made-for-TV movies. Plus the lead actress (Maria Thayer) is so cute to watch for 85 minutes!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e5.7 / 10 starsu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e–Zoooma, a Kat Pirate Screener”
