I absolutely loved this movie. It has more substance that kept the viewer guessing what is going to happen next. The entire cast was great attractive actors. Please write more movies that are not centered around the traditional family death or tragic situations, as it seems all other Christmas movies focus on. Thank you for a breath of fresh air.

Vivica A. Fox is the Christmas Godmother! She comes thru with the holiday movies - Christmas Cruise, A Husband for Christmas, etc. Truly enjoyed the story for this one...lost love mystery rediscovered + wonderful ending (Jackee is a gem too). I appreciate that Vivica's movies always show diversity, multi-generations being successful in different walks of life, and enjoying life. 🚫Stereotypes.

"Oooo weeee Oooo..." Such great, memorable lines that the characters cite...' Character Michael (Alonzo) tells character Lena (Morgan) that "he knew he loved her = in his soul!" Character Lena does what becomes an epilogue as she references our revered Ms. Toni Morrison as she concludes: ' Life is 2 be lived; celebrated & loved!!" What an absolutely adorable holiday movie celebrating nuances, & challenges of a special Black love(s) that intersects generations!! I was definitely invested in the characters, the ambience, tone, textures of the diff locales; such a gorgeous cast 4 goodness sakes!!
