Man, I remember my mother watching Dr Quinn, Medicine Woman back in the 90s. Well, Lifetime brought Jane Seymour and Joe Lando back in A Christmas Spark. Let’s see if they still have their spark almost 30 years later.

Molly (Jane Seymour) is stuck in her traditional ways. This year, her daughter’s family can’t come to her house for Christmas due to work commitments, ruining their traditional Christmas celebration. So she goes to Connecticut to spend the holiday at her daughter’s house. During her stay, she gets talked into directing the local Christmas play. She ends up working closely with Hank (Joe Lando), the town playboy. The two end up closer than either intended.

Seymour and Lando have a history of playing romantic partners. In A Christmas Spark, it’s almost like no time has passed between them. They have just as much chemistry in 2022 as they did in 1993. Having that relationship off-camera makes it so much more believable on-camera. The two seem like they are goofing around as actual friends instead of playing two characters falling in love. It makes the falling in love part seem real. You can see the relationship between the characters go from friendship to love, which we don’t see very often in these types of movies.

There isn’t a ton to talk about in A Christmas Spark but I do think it is worth watching. Whether you want to watch it to see your old Dr Quinn ship get back together or you just want a nice Christmas movie to watch, this one fulfills both of those needs. Seymour is a super talented actress and I’m not sure what she’s doing in a Lifetime Christmas movie but I am very glad she is doing it.
