This holiday season, I have been in a heart-warming Christmas Movie mood, which means my TV has been tuned into the Hallmark Channel every night for weeks. All of the ones I have watched have been great and are worth seeing, but there is only one I have seen more than once. Which means it puts it at the top of my Outstanding Family Christmas Movie Meter. That movie is Moonlight & Mistletoe, which originally released last year.

Santaville looks like a great place to live. You can celebrate Christmas seven days a week. Well, at least if you are an outsider. Holly Crobsy (Candance Cameron Bure) grew up in Santaville and worked as her Dad’s (aka Santa’s) number one elf, until she went off to college.

Holly, who is a workaholic, has not been back to Santaville in three years. She travels from Boston back to her hometown when her dad (Tom Arnold) has a sleigh-riding accident. Holly does not plan on staying home for long; she is just there to make sure her dad is okay, but when Holly unexpectedly finds a pile of unpaid bills, she finds out that her and her dad’s home is in big trouble and they could lose Santaville. Can Holly save Santaville with the help of her dad, his crush Ginny (Barbara Niven) and her dad’s helper Peter (Christopher Wiehl)? What will happen to Santaville? Can Holly find love in the mix of this possible loss and regain her Christmas spirit?
