A refined love story

7.6 stars.A wonderfully nostalgic and memorable story of two interwoven romances spanning 80 years in the town of Maple Hills. It's an account of a family on the verge of losing their maple farm because the bank discovers the deed is not in their name. The true owner is a mysterious person who signed it sometime soon after WWII.In the present day, a doctor and a young woman whose family runs the farm are falling in love. The mystery of the farm is occupying their time more than anticipated and soon becomes an impediment to the romance. In the past, we see her grandmother longing for a man to return from the war. He is not much more than a stranger to her, but she is in love with him and he with her. There are other men involved both in the past and present, and we are left trying to solve the mysteries of unrequited loves and how they all began. Who owns the farm, who will discover the identity of the stranger and the mystery deed owner?First of all, there are way too many commercials, so this film must have a runtime of 80 minutes. That's fine, but with a story so rich with so much potential, more is better. Nevertheless, it's very easy to get lost in both the back story and the present one, both so fascinating, it's difficult to pick which is better.It's a very intriguing mystery that keeps us guessing who, when, and where. Enjoy it for the excitement, the romance, or both, but either way this is two stories unconventionally rolled into one short film.

Great Christmas movie especially the flashbacks to the WWII era

This was my favorite Christmas movie of the 2023 season on the Great American Family network (and in my top 5 overall of the 2023 Christmas movies on both Great American Family and Hallmark). It was not your typical predictable GAF/Hallmark Chritsmas movie. It had much more to the plot and I really enjoyed the storyline solving the mystery of the lead character's grandmother's love story via flashbacks to the WWII era. There was good chemistry between the actors in both the modern day timeline as well as the historical timeline of the grandparents. Each year there are only a few movies I would rewatch the following Christmas season and this movie will be one of them.

Really nice

Christmas in Maple Hills starts out as another save the farm movie, but quickly turns into a search for family roots, and then a love story within a love story.When a farm girl goes to the bank to fund an expansion to her business, it is discovered that her farm is not in her family's name, but a mysterious organization no one has ever heard of. The search is on, assisted by the doctor who has designs on our lovely farm girl.Flashbacks reveal a WWII romance involving her grandmother, and the mystery continually deepens.Emily Alatalo and Marcus Rosner do a nice job as farm girl and doctor, but gorgeous Amanda Jordan, with her amazing blue eyes, and Adrian Spencer as a soldier she encounters are perhaps the real hilight of the movie.I'm a sucker for 40's and WWII era nostalgia, so I really like this kind of movie and I'm happy to say it was quite well-done.The nurse was particularly appealing as the best friend who always has a sparkle in her eye.Nicely done.
