Ashley (Logen Cheatham) is a PR consultant by day and a night club singer by night - and as the latter she's first witnessed by Nick (Brad West), who falls in love with her on the spot, and naturally asks her out the first time he manages to talk to her. She initially turns him down though, but when they meet again at her agency, she lets him invite her to a business dinner - and from there romance blossoms and it's not long before he proposes to her and she says yes ... and then he disappears after a motorcycle accident that might have killed him - but since there's no body. It takes her months to come over this, especially because without a body there's no closure, but eventually she can't help but accept his apparent death and starts dating again, this time her agency's filthy rich lawyer client Bobby (Sean Perry), who spares no expenses to wow her. But she sees something more in him and genuinely falls in love - and eventually he proposes to her, and not long afterwards, they get married. But on the first day of her honeymoon she receives a call from Nick's dad (Brian LaBelle) telling her that Nick's still alive and she ought to come see him ...

Now despite the movie title and despite parts of this film taking place around Christmas time this one hardly qualifies as an actual Christmas movie, and not only because it features next to no seasonal music, no Christmas sweaters to speak of, and its colour range is significantly richer than your usual red, white, green and gold. Also there's no actual Christmas miracle, and no praises are sung to simple smalltown life or churchgoing. Instead, this is a rather mature romantic drama that has a moral dilemma at its centerthat also prevents a happy ending for all ts story's protagonists. And even though the script isn't without its lengths it's also cleverly written and full of relatable characters embodied by a very able ensemble, while a suibably subtle direction carries the film rather beautifully, all making for a pretty good watch.
