Like I said, I’m not a Christmas movie girl outside of Christmas. It’s just not my thing, and honestly, I get kind of bored while watching. This film is no different. Sure, it’s cute and there’s some fun moments like shopping for a tree or having hot chocolate, but overall, it’s just okay. The film has many of the same attributes we see time and again, but it’s nice to see Jesse and Vanessa in something new. Jesse has been in prior Hallmark films with Candace Cameron Bure, and Vanessa was in Heart of the Holidays with Corey Sevier. christmas in toyland
The sets and backdrops tend to be colorful with the toy store setting and the movie moves as a good pace. There’s the festive activities and spirit, too. Plus, anyone who’s not me will just enjoy this simply because it’s a Christmas title. Teamwork is a theme in the film if you like to root on good theme, plus like always, you’ll see some romance take shape too.
