Last night in the US, Hallmark aired Take Me Back for Christmas – a brand-new festive film, which made its debut as part of Hallmark’s ‘Christmas in July’ programming block. The movie – which starred Vanessa Lengies and Corey Sevier – followed the story of a young woman called Renée, who is granted a wish that turns her life upside down.
Airing at 8pm, the film offered up a bit of holiday content, as well as an alternative bit of winter fun to make a change from the current summer sunshine. The movie also proved to be rather popular with Hallmark viewers, with a number of fans taking to Twitter to express their delight with the film.
After Hallmark put out a Tweet thanking viewers for tuning into the new movie, one Twitter user said: “What a great movie! One of the best you’ve put out in a long time! Will watch it over and over again.
“Wonderful actors – loved both of the leads, especially Vanessa! The plot was funny and moving – just a true joy to watch. Loved it!”
Echoing this statement, another Twitter user said: “Hallmark I love the movie that was on last night, it was very good. I really enjoyed it. The movie is different, I will watch it again. I give it two thumbs up.”
The praise then continued with one Twitter user saying “It was a really well done and enjoyable movie”, while another said “Loved it. It was very refreshing.”
Overall, the response to the movie appeared to be very positive, with Hallmark having another hit on their hands!
But did you get chance to watch the new movie? Well, don’t worry if you didn’t, as it will be re-airing over the coming days, giving you plenty of opportunity to take a look.
As for those who want to know what Take Me Back for Christmas is all about, the official plot description for the movie reads as follows:
“After a particularly disheartening day working at a local gift shop, an elf running the Santa display offers to grant Renée a Christmas wish. Although sceptical, her exasperation gets the best of her, and she wishes for a different life…only to wake up in a New York City high rise as CEO of one of the most successful meal kit delivery companies in the world. To top it all off, her mom is still alive.
“It looks like her wish came true and her new reality is seemingly perfect, except for one thing – she is no longer married to Aaron. In a desperate attempt to win him back, Renée hires Aaron, now a successful chef, to develop a Christmas dinner meal kit benefiting local food banks.
“With her new plan in place, she and Aaron begin to fall in love all over again, bringing her one step closer to ‘having it all.’ But as complications arise in this new reality and the clock ticks closer to Christmas Eve, Renée is forced to ask herself if going back is the key to moving forward in life and love.”
For those wishing to catch an encore presentation of Take Me Back for Christmas, get ready to make a note in your diary. The movie will air once again today, Sunday July 16th at 6pm ET/PT, and on Thursday 20th July at 8pm via the Hallmark Channel.
