Nantucket Noel
Christmas on the Coast
Hallstar-for-life Trevor Donovan as a workaholic, divorced single dad who meets a small town woman who helps him relearn what’s important and how to be a better dad (while also trying to not destroy her business).
Strong You’ve Got Mail / Shop Around the Corner homage, right down to the protagonist’s working in the small store with her mother.
Depicts a healthy co-parenting relationship on screen. Not the norm for Hallmark - usually the non-protagonist parent is dead or never shown.
Second Hallmark movie of 2021 with a Christmas boat parade. Crossover sequel between Nantucket Noel and Christmas Sail? Let’s do it, Hallmark!
Filmed in Gibsons, BC (ditto Christmas Sail). The two were filmed sequentially so I like to think this is some efficient planning for the Hallmark film crews.
Hap-Hap-Happiest Scene:
Beachside s’mores! 🔥
Wait! Why do I recognize that person?
Daniel Bacon in his third Hallmark Christmas movie of 2021! He was also in You, Me and the Christmas Trees and A Christmas Treasure. Supporting character Hallstar for sure.
SCORE: 6/10
