Christmas in Evergreen

Allie is a small town veterinarian who hopes to spend Christmas with her long distance boyfriend. Her routine trip to the airport stalls when her car breaks down. Ryan, who is driving to Florida with his daughter Zoe, stops to help. They sense a spark, but they agree to keep things practical and part with a friendly farewell. Later, in a cozy diner, Zoe wishes on a snow globe, and a winter storm seems to bend fate in their favor. What follows stays light on suspense and leans into a feel good romance centered on chance encounters and second chances. The film leans on small town Christmas imagery, from snow covered streets to friendly neighbors, underscoring the idea that life can surprise you in the season of miracles.

Directed by Alex Zamm, the film springs from a story by Rick Garman and Nancy Naigle. It stars Ashley Williams and Teddy Sears in the central romance. It premiered on Hallmark Channel in 2017 as part of its Christmas movie lineup.

Box office figures aren't applicable since this is a television movie released on Hallmark Channel, so there are no worldwide grosses to report. It aired as part of a seasonal programming block that typically favors family friendly storytelling over commercial tallies.

As part of Hallmark's Christmas movie tradition, it reinforces a cozy formula fans expect, including small town charm, supportive families, and a heartwarming connection that blooms in the holiday season. Williams and Sears bring a low key warmth that matches the setting and the audience's expectations.

Audiences give it a mid range score, about 6.4 out of 10 from 107 votes. The film centers on balancing a long distance romance with family duties and community ties, all wrapped in a hopeful mood that mirrors the season message about second chances and kindness.
