As Christmas approaches, widowed Maggie (Alison Sweeney) decides to spend the holidays on her family's Christmas tree farm in Virginia. What she doesn't expect is to run into her former flame, TJ (Lucas Bryant), who she hasn't seen in over a decade. TJ, who is now a single father, has returned to town with his young son, Lucas (Kiefer O'Reilly), for the first time since his own father passed away. The two connect again over their shared love of music, while TJ's son forms a bond with Maggie's precocious daughter, Ellen (Brittney Wilson).
Despite their mutual attraction, Maggie and TJ have to navigate family drama and their own past hurts if they want to see if a second chance at love is possible. Maggie's overbearing father (Gregory Harrison) wants her to sell the Christmas tree farm, while TJ's sister (Michelle Choi-Lee) is trying to convince him to move back to the city. As the holiday festivities ramp up, Maggie and TJ must decide if they want to follow their hearts or stick with what they know.
Time for You to Come Home for Christmas is a heartwarming and nostalgic holiday movie that perfectly captures the spirit of the season. The rural setting and Christmas tree farm add to the cozy atmosphere, while the music â which features original songs written and sung by Lucas Bryant and Kiefer O'Reillyâ adds an extra layer of charm. The lead actors have great chemistry and their characters are both likable and relatable. Alison Sweeney is especially endearing as Maggie, a woman still grieving her husband's death while trying to be a good mother to her daughter. The film does a good job of exploring the theme of moving on and letting go, while also emphasizing the importance of family and tradition.
One of the standout performances in the movie comes from young actor Kiefer O'Reilly, who plays TJ's son Lucas. He is an adorable scene-stealer who brings a lot of heart to the story. The scenes between him and Brittney Wilson, who plays Ellen, are some of the movie's most heartwarming. Another standout is Gregory Harrison, who plays Maggie's father. He adds some levity to the story with his gruff persona, but also shows a softer side as he tries to make amends with Maggie and support her during a difficult time.
Overall, Time for You to Come Home for Christmas is a feel-good holiday movie that will get viewers in the festive spirit. It's a story about love, healing, and forgiveness that reminds us of the magic of the season. While it doesn't break any new ground in terms of plot or character development, it still manages to be a charming and enjoyable watch. Fans of Hallmark Christmas movies or romantic dramas will especially appreciate this film.
