๐ŸŽ„ 2021 Christmas Binge Watch Movie #72 ๐ŸŽ„ 

I don’t know why Lifetime changed the title of this movie. “A Christmas Village Romance” is kinda dumb, since the non Lifetime title actually describes the movie, “Christmas at Maple Creek.” I mean they do spend it at Maple Creek, which isn’t really a village. I guess it’s just a shoulder shrug when it comes to title changes. 


So if I ended up with the dude in this movie I’d eventually kill him. Oh man that guy was so annoying. A historical romance writer and history teacher/handyman/blacksmith fall in love while planning a Christmas festival to save Maple Creek. She forgets her hunky crush, plans a festival, riles everyone up, falls in love, and still writes a book her new man would approve of. The new man is just annoying. We’ve seen it all before. This one is an ‘eh’ and a ‘meh’ for me. Well, more like a bore and a chore. 

My Rating: ⭐⭐
