Storyline: Addie works as a chiropractor in New York. During the holiday season, she receives a text message that was sent to her by mistake. The older woman who sent it, Nana, lives in Vermont. Addie and Nana become friendly, and Nana invites Addie to her home for Christmas. Addie is usually the kind of person who plays it safe. However, with her own family out of the country, she accepts the invitation. Addie is welcomed by the rest of Nana's family, including the son, James. This starts a new Christmas tradition in which Addie could find a new family and maybe even love.
Genres: Family Comedy Romance
Featured review 8/10
High-quality - Merritt Patterson and Trevor Donovan shine.
I've often said that these Hallmark/Lifetime/GAC Family movies live or die based on their casting of the lead actors and how much chemistry those leads have. Safe to say, the producers got it one thousand percent correct when casting Canadian Merritt Patterson (one of my favourites, from ever since her early Hallmark days, through her incredibly risqué turn in 'Heatwave' and recent work on GAC Family) and Trevor Donovan, who is a sold actor and can always be counted on to turn in a good performance.
If Patterson and Donovan were good together two years ago in 'Jingle Bell Princess', they are GREAT here in 'Twas the Text Before Christmas', which features an inventive (if somewhat unlikely in real life) scenario that takes place over three Christmases (similar to one of my favorites, 'Four Christmases and a Wedding') and a well-cast group of secondary actors.
This slow-developing and pleasant movie is definitely one of the better Christmas movies you're likely to see in 2023.
