This is a pure formula "Royal" movie where the prince maintains his anonymity through most of it. There is the antagonistic confrontation at the beginning. The anonymous prince helps with a Christmas festival. The queen is throwing tantrums, admittedly somewhat mild tantrums. There are so many other formulaic plot lines. There is also some wild rationalizing to work things out to the predictable outcome. I haven't seen Lisa Durupt as a romantic lead, but in many supporting roles like best friend or sister. Marcus Rosner is a rom/com veteran, many of which with Hallmark. (This movie is Lifetime.) As another reviewer pointed out, Rosner vacillates back and forth into an English accent (obligatory for all Royal movies). I found this distracting. There was some chemistry but it wasn't great. There is nothing to set this movie apart from the crowd. It won't be on my future viewing list.

This is a no more than serviceable Prince Pretending to be a Commoner in America story. He is visiting a small town trying to discover the true meaning of Christmas, so camouflaged as it is in the palace by meaningless tradition and formality. He goes to the town that a late former friend of his mother lived and that to him embodies the spirit of Christmas via her letters to his mother, the queen. He gets on the wrong side of a woman who is trying to save the local library by reviving her mothers yearly project, the Winter fest. Her mother, it turns out, just happens to be the woman whose letters to his mother has brought him to town. Terryl Rothery plays the queen, who is pretty unpleasant through almost the whole movie. Marcus Rosner, a Hallmark veteran is good as the square-jawed dimpled prince. He was princely. I actually liked his use of a quasi English accent when in his prince persona and an American accent when in disguise. Unfortunately, the actress who played his love interest was not a good match, in my opinion. For one thing, she seemed too mature and worldly-wise to be a romantic lead for a prince in disguise in small-Town U. S. A.. The character got on my bad side right away by foolishly turning down his enthusiastic offer of help with the saving the library because he was a visitor and not part of the community. Especially since No One in the Actual Community stepped up to the plate. There is a priceless scene near the end of the movie where Queen Terryl orders Prince Nicolas to kneel before her and pulls out a crown that looks like it was snagged from the Burger King mascot. She **spoiler alert** coronates her son right there in the middle of winter fest. I'm not sure whether this added a star to my rating or subtracted a star. But one thing for sure, Terryl and Marcus looked distinctly uncomfortable.

Typical "Royal Cinderella " story. A prince of Caucasianstan ( my name for mythical land of white people) is unhappy with being rich and good looking until he meets plucky Christmas loving American ( actually Canadian) who has no sense of protocol. His mother the queen hates her. All's well by last 5 minutes.

When I watched this move a few months ago, on streaming, I erroneously blamed it on Hallmark. Now it' showing on Lifetime channel Therefore. I owe Hallmark my deepest apologies. Thus clarified, I still find this is, hands down, the worst royal TV movie ever. Save ypur intellect and watch a rerun of Gilligan' Island. That would be infinitely more entertaining.

Never have I ever given a Hallmark movie a 1 star This is everything that could possible be poor about a movie - the story is totally ridiculous - not just magical, HEA and a little corny which is total fine but like the Bride of Chucky with a Christmas theme..... I realise there are late bloomers including some lovely friends of mine but if you are going to cast mature leads is not the least that can happen is they act their age? This pair are acting like teens and if a day under 35 I will eat my hat..... And the romance and chemistry is just not there AT ALL.... Plain awful sorry to report......

So in spite of the reviews here the numeric ratings are in the 4-5 star range. That's generous. This is a terrible movie and that's coming from somebody that is actually fond of the hallmark royal themed movies. The lead actor may be ok in other roles but he is terrible in this--he floats in an out of a bad British accent. Of course the script is so bad that its hard to blame the actors but the result is that this thing is barely watchable. I made it through the whole thing but am a little shocked that I actually finished it. There are lots of royal themed movies in the Hallmark vault. Try an alternative because this one is not worth you time.

A delightful story to fill your cup with Christmas cup. A handsome prince and lovely leading lady cross paths in order to make a much needed miracle. Get your favourite flannel blanket, a cup of cocoa and settle in to feel all the feelings of Christmas.

A romantic, modern day fairy tale that is grounded and perfect for all the family. There were a lot of cute moments and laughs throughout the movie. Enjoyed the Christmas tradition and magic of the film
