![]() ![]() Since I’m not really into magical anything to begin with, Marie’s already lost me with her theory. There is no magic, but you can’t call a movie Christmas Ornament Coincidences, so here we are. If you’re thinking, that’s not really magic, that’s just a coincidence, you are right. A tiny pair of felt skates, for example, leads to a skating date with Nate, and a shimmering treasure chest turns out to be the subject of a new children’s book she’s editing. Each one foretells something that happens later that day. She thinks her mom’s ornaments are sending her a message, and people make all sorts of dumb decisions when they think a Hallmark keepsake has special powers. Marie’s got her mind on other things though. What more could you ask for? If I were Marie, I’d start making plans to sublease my flat instead of fretting over how this nice guy’s going to ditch me. He’s also a cutie pediatric nurse, which is perfect because when he’s not helping Marie with her publishing company’s charity toy drive, he’s helping sick kiddos. She doesn’t even have a tree for the ornaments her mother sends every day.Įnter the neighbor, Nate (Brendan Penny), a Florida transplant who loves Christmas and won’t tolerate Marie’s treeless nonsense. That and the Frank Sinatra Christmas music her neighbor plays on blast. Now, the most festive thing in her New York City flat is the ambient Christmas lighting that shines through her window. She hasn’t felt the Christmas spirit since breaking up with her ex over the holidays years ago. Marie (Jessica Lowndes) is the Scrooge of this story. No, Magical Christmas Ornaments is just another Hallmark movie about a “magical” that brings a couple together and shows at least one of them the true meaning of Christmas. In my sleep-deprived state, I was thinking this might be a movie about ornaments that come to life at night, à la Toy Story, which would be amazing because if my mismatched box of ornaments is anything to go by, there’d be some great commentary on culture, consumerism, and class. ![]()
