    Colin Theys works behind the camera, and since 2018 he has quietly become one of the network's steady hands, with 16 films to his name. He knows the December assignment cold. Seven of those are Christmas titles, and his comfort zone is the small town in winter, the snow and the strings of lights doing a lot of the heavy lifting. His best-reviewed picture is Ghosts of Christmas Always from 2022, which lands at 7.4, with Holiday for Heroes and Next Stop, Christmas close behind at 7. The rest sits in solid, dependable territory around the 6.5 mark. He is not a flashy stylist chasing a high-concept gimmick. He is the director you want when the goal is a warm, watchable holiday romance that does exactly what the poster promises.
