I don’t watch a lot of commercials for these Christmas movies. I really try to go in unspoiled. However, I ended up accidentally watching some of the commercials for Our Holiday Story because I was so confused. Is this really just someone telling a story? Yep. It is.

Chris (Gavin Langelo) is meeting his girlfriend, Joanna’s (Sydney Scotia), parents for the first time. When Joanna misses the train, Chris is forced to spend time alone with Nell (Nikki Deloach) and Dave (Warren Christie). He, of course, asks them how they met. Boy, do they have a story for him!

When this movie started, I didn’t think it was going to be good. Thankfully, I was wrong. Our Holiday Story is actually pretty adorable. There is a lot more to their story than just “We met on a train.” The small twists and near misses kept the story interesting. Not to mention the chemistry between Deloach and Christie. I almost wish they starred in every Christmas movie.

The only down side to the movie is Chris and Joanna’s story. It would have been better if there were a few more twists and turns to mirror Nell and Dave’s story. Instead, their story is a little more boring. But I’m glad it’s there as a reason to tell Nell and Dave’s. It would have been weird if this was just them telling their daughter about their past.

Rating: Yes, Dave! A summer festival (and movie) would be a lovely idea!
