Very good opening and ending, the unoriginal and by the numbers middle definitely hamper the film but it's still one I enjoyed.

<em>'Christmas Everlasting'<em> does feature a fair amount of heart, I cared for the main character - Tatyana Ali's Lucy. It's a good story, one that isn't all that usual for these festive television films. Unfortunately, as noted, is does hit the beats that those aforementioned productions would during the middle part - which is slow and uneventful.

Ali, as well as Dondré T. Whitfield & Dennis Haysbert and a few others, are pleasant to watch though - which stops the film from falling down the rankings. The trio of characters, spearheaded by Amanda Brooks, are strangely written, I will say.

All in all, it's worth a watch.
