A Song for Christmas (2017)
Pop superstar Adelaide Kay is so fed up with her controlling manager that she sneaks off the tour bus after their latest squabble. Though exhilarated to be free, she finds herself stranded in the freezing cold of a Pennsylvania winter, with no money and no plan. A local family, the Lapps, take her in. They know the true meaning of the season, even if they’re close to losing their tree farm. No one in the family recognizes Adelaide except Dillon, the oldest son.

Truly Dreadful Film
Sorry, this movie sucks
Good concept, poorly executed.
A brilliant film that helped define a genre
I DVRd this movie when it first aired. I liked it so much, I didn't delete it. I've now watched it several times. The movie is all about following your dreams. It's about family. It's about standing up for yourself. It's about listening and standing with your kids. The chemistry between the two leads is amazing. Nice Holiday movie...
Hallmark Movies and Mysteries tends to do much complex (and better movies(. And this is no exception.Adelaide, a country star is tired of being told what to do regarding her career, so when she sees the opportunity to stay for a while in this family farm with an adorable family she takes it, and grows personally and therefore, professionally.My favorite aspect of this movie is that it is not centered on the romance but on Adelaide's development and her relationship not with Dillon but with his entire family and the family farm. I'm also glad that the plot took another direction, different as usual, and that Dillon discovered who she was almost at the beginning of the story. I really like the script. It wasn't corny and it had a few funny comebacks. So, points for that. Kevin and Becca had great chemistry between themselves and even with the actors who were part of the family, who contributed so much to the story. Even though I knew how the story was going to develop, I had a very good time watching it.
For a musical based Christmas movie there isn't much music just a song at the end. Forgettable. The story is mainly about the struggle to keep a Christmas Tree farm going. A singing star gets snowbound in a town and falls in love with the guy whose family owns a Christmas Tree farm. At least there isn't too much contrived drama. But there isn't much of anything.
I thought this was going to be a real stink bomb. But, you know it wasn't too bad. I don't listen to country music, but as far as I know this is exactly the kind of stuff that passes for quality nowadays. All the Christmas points are dotted and it seemed to work. Although, the lead fellow needs to have his hair messed up a bit. Too much product.
