I have loved Aimee Teegarden since the Friday Night Lights days, and I have enjoyed all her Christmas movies for Hallmark - last year's 'My Christmas Family Tree' and 2018's 'Once Upon a Christmas Miracle are standouts - to this point, and enjoyed them all.
So of course I was anticipating 'Christmas Class Reunion' which sees the "cursed" class of 2007 reunite at Christmas (because everyone is already in town for the holidays) fifteen years after they graduated high school.
There are a number of intertwined stories but Elle's (Teegarden) is the main one, as she plans the reunion - which doesn't exactly go to her meticulous plan - whilst being torn between her high school crush and the guy who she didn't really like back then, the class clown who has matured and has a daughter.
It's a fairly predictable movie in the sense that you have a pretty good idea of exactly what's going to happen, but there are some nice moments throughout the film that definitely resonate. Christmas is a wonderful time for nostalgia, and what is more nostalgic than a high school reunion at Christmas?
Don't over-think a movie like this. Just watch and enjoy. Yes, everything ends happily, but that's fine. That's what you want from a movie like this! You could do a lot worse. Indeed, Hallmark HAS done a lot worse this year and in past years.
