As much as I love both leads in this film, they are not two that I would put together and I think the film ends up being a bit middling, because the chemistry is not there, but it is a nice enough story.

How do you save a whole street that is due to be demolished? You put on a Christmas show of course, but what happens when the new hot guy in town turns out to be working for the developers?

Andrew W Walker is lovely here, but Alicia Witt is just a bit wrong in her part.

Yawnful.

Nothing about 'Christmas Tree Lane' works, in my opinion at least. It was a chore to sit through from start-to-finish, with every single beat being predictable and/or cringe. It takes itself way too seriously, not helped by average acting and non-existent chemistry between the leads.

Alicia Witt and Andrew W. Walker are OK actors, but neither give a performance to be remembered or praised. The support cast are lame. I'm all for festive film cheese, but there needs to be something more substantial than this.

The plot is so glaringly obvious, it holds back the big reveal for a good chunk of the film. Yet, when it finally does arrive it's resolved almost instantly. We've seen this exact premise so many times before - get a little creative, especially for a production released in 2020.

I usually really enjoy watching Andrew Walker's Hallmark films; he is a good actor in such roles. He did a decent job in this movie too. But there was no chemistry between him and Alicia Witt, at least, I did not see it. I felt Alicia's performance was rather weak, though, to be honest, I am not a huge fan of her Hallmark films. The supporting cast was great, especially Nate's parents. The movie is enjoyable enough and instills a bit of Christmas spirit. Worth a watch if you are familiar/like Hallmark movies.
