Sense, Sensibility & Snowmen
A Wonder Wheel Christmas
Austen’s Dashwoods of yore, meet the Dashwoods of Chicago’s Dashworks party planning. We’ve got Marianne and Ella, Edward and… a snowman?
When a Christmas “enthusiast” party planner meets a Scrooge (lite, this is Hallmark after all), romance ensues. It’s basically a slow-burn of him becoming less corporate thanks to her intense yuletide enthusiasm

Hallmark Christmas Movie Bingo really needs a box for: develop a business plan (seriously, there’s a significant number of these movies that have that happen)

Luke Macfarlane - reminds me that I never did finish Brothers & Sisters when it was on… Or did I? If I can’t remember, was it all that memorable after all? Better outing than the previously-reviewed The Mistletoe Promise
SCORE: 6/10
Tell me more!
The film centers on Christmas enthusiast party planners Ella (Krakow) and her sister, Marianne, who clash with their client, Edward (MacFarlane), who is a not-so-jolly toy company CEO.
