25 Days of Hallmark Movies: Day 9: "With Love, Christmas" Starring Emilie Ullerup and Aaron O'Connell

Whoa. There are two main takeaways from this one: 1) Even amongst Hallmark Christmas movies, there's a line to how many decorations you should put in scenes. This movie crosses that line and seems to fill every ashtray, urinal and tracheotomy stoma opening with some sort of decorative bauble or trinket. 2) Hollywood will never, ever, ever understand the business of advertising in a trillion years.


Plot summary: "Ad executive Melanie is teamed up with uptight coworker Donovan to come up with the ultimate Christmas commercial for a new cell phone. To complicate matters, Donovan is also Melanie's Secret Santa recipient in the annual office gift exchange. Keeping her identity secret, Melanie sends him emails from "Santa" to determine the perfect gift for him. When Donovan mistakenly assumes another co-worker is his Secret Santa, Melanie must work to show Donovan that she’s the only Santa for him."
