Great American Family isn’t known for great movies. Peppermints and Postcards may be their one saving grace this year.
Cara (Ella Cannon) is a divorced mother without a boyfriend, unlike her ex-husband. Her 9-year old daughter, Megan (Amelia Harrison), writes a letter to Santa asking for her mom to find love. When the letter gets uploaded to social media, it goes viral. Chet Williams (Christopher Russell), a local television reporter, picks up her story and broadcasts it to the country. Will Chet be able to help Cara find love for Christmas?
As I said, Great American Family doesn’t usually put out great movies. And this movie isn’t great but it is rather good. It’s much better than the stuff they usually put out. Russell is charming as Chet and Cannon is sweet as Cara. The dates that Cara goes on are pretty realistic, especially for a Christmas movie. This isn’t something I would watch more than once but I enjoyed the time I did spend on it.
