Why we’d put this one on
Weirdness 9 and a beloved corner of the Evergreen universe. Maggie Lawson plays a skeptical writer who turns up in the relentlessly Christmas-obsessed town of Evergreen to dig into its famous holiday devotion during a hunt for a long-lost time capsule, with Paul Greene as the local librarian who charms her. Holly Robinson Peete and Barbara Niven are along too. This is the entry where Evergreen's gentle magic and the possibility of a real Santa sit firmly in play, so the whole thing glows a little brighter than realism allows. Cozy, festive, and warmly familiar. A safe, snug pick if you have already fallen for this town.
