After a decade of living in San Francisco, Elizabeth Bird returns to her hometown of Ruidoso during Christmastime to convince her ex-boyfriend Randy to sell his ski resort to her employer and future father-in-law.
Release
The film played in select theaters in 2023 and was released on video on demand.[1]
Critical reception
Common Sense Media, "This holiday romcom fails to create a coherent storyline and ends up an incoherent, nonsensical mess. That said, The Christmas Classic does hit all the beats you might expect from a Hallmark or Lifetime Christmas film."[4]
Screen Rant, "Romance and comedy mingle in the perfect holiday cocktail thanks to The Christmas Classic."[1]
MovieWeb, "Thanks to some compelling chemistry between Malin Akerman (Watchmen, The Final Girls) and Ryan Hansen (Party Down, Superhero Movie), as well as a sweetly entertaining story, there is plenty of charm and festive spirit to be found in this early-in-the-season holiday flick."[5]
