I loved it! This was an attempt to highlight a Mexican Christmas tradition and I appreciated that it was handled as well as it was. The word 'posada' means, in slang, a 'place to crash/spend the night'. ... Families, friends, neighborhoods gather together and organize posadas for 9 days, from December 16th to the 24th. These 9 days represent Mary's nine months of pregnancy. The story is about a local lawyer named Maya who has come home after a failed relationship in California where her career failed to take off. "Home" is a smaller town an hour from Denver...where after a two year detour she has a second interview with a large law firm. In her small town she has been doing consulting and living in a garage apartment at her parents. The owner of the local panadería, where she worked while she was in high school and has been using as an office while home, has asked her to help with the sale of his business. Luis, lost his wife and everything in the panadería reminds him of her...it was her love and joy that filled their bakery and their special gingerbread cookies with magic. So much so that locals would wish on the gingerbread cookies and believe that their wishes would come true. Luis' nephew, Alex, comes home for Christmas and to help with the sale as well. Maya had a thing for Alex when they were in High School together and now he is a big lawyer at a New York law firm. Maya finds a buyer...Jacque, but Alex seems determined to thwart the sale. This was a sweet call back to more innocent high school times when someone would pour their heart out in a letter...and be so devastated that it wasn't reciprocated that they would make up an imaginary boyfriend to protect themselves. It also dealt with a secondary topic which is common amongst immigrants from all sorts of backgrounds...that the pressure on their kids to succeed and do jobs that they consider important and successful (doctor, lawyer) is really high and sometimes there is a misunderstanding in that at the end of the day they just want there kids to be happy and not want for anything. Great rounded cast, good chemistry, carols with Spanish guitar, additional Christmas traditions...I recommend seeing this one.

It's above average then the normal hallmark Christmas films. It's a little slow at Times and does drag on but it's overall a cute Christmas film. Tho I wish there was more to the Christmas wishes and not so much on the romance.

Favorite scene with Maya Owens (Merritt Patterson) - The Gingerbread Obstacle Course with Alex and Jake. Despite losing it, she and Alex had So Much Fun! BTW, I Loved this movie!

This movie was pleasant to watch. I might have given the movie itself, based on plot and characters, a "6". However, part of what bumped it up for me to a "7" rating was the presentation of some aspects of Hispanic culture at Christmas time of which I was unaware. (I have to trust that they were accurately portrayed.) Another engaging aspect was the role and portrayal of the family's patriarch -- a very interesting character.

It is great to see different celebrations and cultures, I am so happy this movie shows that. It's a heartwarming Christmas movie like all the others, but there is nothing wrong with the usual loveliness of Hallmark Christmas movies. Predictable but so enjoyable and sweet.

I found this movie originally searching up for a gingerbread cookie recipe. I've lost two hours of my life with still no cookies. The only miracle here is how I managed to stay awake throughout the whole movie. At least the Spanish pronunciations were decent?

This was sort of a mishmash of maybe 3 or 4 movies, and none of it really came together. The leads were attractive but hardly ever really connected romantically, seemingly focused on their separate lives/careers. Lots of plot lines that intertwined but just didn't work together for me... I love Merritt but she was sort of on her own in this one...

Enjoyable movie with an ethnic twist. I actually liked the fact that there was a romance without any of the usual 'misunderstanding' that adds fake tension. The actors were believable although I didn't care much for the 'French' baker. The Hispanic bakery was a nice change. Probably not quite an 8 but I liked it better than the inoffensive ones I give a 7 to.

Glad to see Hallmark expanding into other cultures and traditions. The characters were interesting and the storyline will keep the viewers engaged. Keep mixing it up, Hallmark!

Instead of "save the store," in this one we have "sell the store." Don't worry, with Hallmark no store is ever allowed to be sold, they are all saved, so we'll just get that out of the way right now. The cheery Merritt Patterson is a freelance lawyer who is trying to re-establish her career in the big city after a bad breakup sent her back to her hometown. The glum and sinister-looking (but nice) Mexican baker (I thought all bakers were jolly?) and proprietor wants to retire, so he asks her, a trusted friend, for help in finding a buyer for his bakery. Sounds reasonable, doesn't it? However, his nephew, a big city lawyer, visits for Christmas and wants to horn in. I found him very out of line, pouty and whiny to boot. He doesn't like being a lawyer and wants to be a baker instead, but instead of having the guts to do something positive about it, he tries to put the kibosh on the sale of the bakery. Rude. Merritt and Alex, the nephew, have a history of mutual crushes on each other, bad timing, and communication problems as teens. As adults, the reboot of their romance goes pretty well, and they do have some chemistry. Alex is very attractive and once he got over himself and Merritt realized that she was happy in her hometown rather than re-joining the rat race, all proceeded to the usual conclusion despite the appearance of a handsome French patisserie owner. There was also some magical gingerbread involved but it was more of a superfluous gimmick than a miraculous gamechanger. It was cute though. I also enjoyed the Mexican Christmas customs. All in all, this was perfectly pleasant, but nothing really special.
