A Christmas in Vermont released in 2016 as a TV movie. It enjoys some big-name actors: Chevy Chase (in a Scrooge-type role), Howard Hesseman (absolutely adorable with a cute puppy), and Morgan Fairchild–who seemed a little pumped up with collagen.
Brief overview: A city executive (Abigail Hawk) is sent to a small town in Vermont to shut down a small outerwear business. Of course, she falls in love with the people, the places, etc. and, instead of shutting down the plant, she helps raise it back to where it had once been. She initially had a stressful relationship with the plant’s manager (David O’Donnell) . . . but you know that before the movie is over, there will be a kiss.
My Thoughts: Initially the tension between the two main characters (Riley & Wyatt) seemed forced. Still, I couldn’t help but root for them. By the end of the movie, I found myself smiling . . . so while I wouldn’t rush to watch this again, it was certainly a nice way to spend 86 minutes. (I watched this on Amazon Prime.)
Is there a bookstore? Nope.
A bakery? Yep … and cupcakes that looked good enough to make me want cupcakes.
I don’t remember any hot cocoa but I do recall coffee in Styrofoam cups.
Cute Kid: Nope, but there was an adorable dog.
Rating: 3.5 ornaments.

I have seen it, probably because I adore Howard Hesseman. It was cute and quite the fluff-fest. Agree with the 3.5 rating.
