Christmas in Evergreen (2017)
Allie, a veterinarian in Evergreen, reluctantly will spend Christmas with her long-distance boyfriend. Bound for the airport, she has engine trouble, and Ryan, headed to Florida with his daughter Zoe, stops to help. Sure they won’t meet again, they ignore their attraction, and part ways. At the diner, Zoe wishes on a snow globe, and a storm seems to grant her wish.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
This movie is so cute. Characters are realistic even though the story is based on a magical snow globe that grants Christmas wishes. Adore Ashley Williams in this movie. Before seeing this I only knew her as crazy Claire in "Something Borrowed".

Small town myths and traditions are so cute. It always makes me wonder if small towns are really like that. There is something about hallmark movies that makes you feel like Christmas, they just get it right. Their movies are family friendly and the ambiance is perfect.
If you like corny and sappy and Christmas on steroids, then you will probably enjoy this. Girl meets boy who has a little girl and the little girl wishes she and her dad would get stuck in Evergreen for Christmas.Sadly, that is pretty much the story. There is an existing boyfriend for Allie and there is really not much wrong with him other than he is serious about work and appears to be one of the upper class. He shows up unexpectedly. There is almost nothing in the way of surprises. There is a hint of real Christmas magic, but not displayed outright.There is nothing special about the acting, except maybe that Jaeda Lily Miller plays her part as super cute Zoe very well. Ashley Williams plays the optimistic, cheerful, sweet and generous lady, but it doesn't seem to be acting for her. I also wish her smile made it a little deeper into her eyes because that smile is on her face probably 80% or more of her screen time.As I said, if you want a typical Hallmark Christmas movie, this fits that scheme, but I'm sure there will be those who don't like that kind of thing.
I had high hopes for this movie, but a lack of plot, one dimensional characters, and a forced romance were what was delivered. Actually, the Zoe girl was the most realistic person in the whole movie. Ryan was pretty wooden the entire time while Allie seemed like she was plucked from a real world TV newscaster, TV weather lady, or infomercial career. Poor Spencer got the short end of the stick without deserving it. This gets a C- when compared to other cheesy Hallmark Christmas movies.
