Angel of Christmas is a 2015 Hallmark movie.
Angel of Christmas has become a staple in our annual viewing. The storyline is a little different to the predictable boy meets girl over eggnog that we’ve come to expect, which keeps you going right to the end. It has everything you need; Christmas tree lot scene, log cabin scene, decorating the tree with the parents scene and don’t forget the succumbing to the festive coffee with the token Asian barista. This remains in the ‘crappy Christmas movie’ genre as her facial expressions are at times forced, the Angel is down-right scary and the text on her laptop is really big! This movie is about challenging your assumptions about how your life should be and is completely worth viewing.
Matt’s Extra Trimmings
Angel of Christmas is a delightful little Christmas movie that manages to tick just about all the boxes: relentless gentle snowfall, Christmas themed coffees, softly focused sparkly backgrounds and a male lead with sensational hair. Even better, it has a few romantic twists that go against the common Christmas movie grain.
The real star of the show, however, is a hand carved wooden angel that, for lack of a better term, is haunted. One might say it’s filled with Christmas magic, I say it’s a straight up poltergeist! Nevertheless, this creepy haunted angel is the beating heart and soul of the movie and by the end, I grew rather fond of it and it’s mildly terrifying face. As the angel guides us on a journey self discovery and breaking out of the boxes we so very neatly put ourselves in, I couldn’t help but smile be uplifted.
As the leading lady embarks on her journey to finally accept that wonderfully delicious Christmas coffee, a wonderfully mysterious love story unfolds. Angel of Christmas is just the right fit for an evening’s viewing with a warm drink by a beautifully decorated tree.
