I'm beginning to think that Marc Blucas is a bit type-cast, playing another soldier here and it's a shame, because those fatigues do nothing for his fine physique.

This one isn't quite as fun as "Holiday For Heroes" covering more of the serious element of army life and those left behind. I have to admit that I cried again at the end.

One of the things I don't understand is why these soldiers all need so much support. How badly are they paid that they can't even afford a Christmas tree? I would have thought the US would have treated "Their Boys" and girls much better than that as they all mean so much apparently?

The cast is all very good, the young lad is a cutey, but the little girl is just cringey and precocious.

It's a nice story, very similar to others, but it has a bit more heart wrenching than most.

I liked this one. The whole cast did a outstanding job on it. Yes I will recommend it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. James Welch Henderson Arkansas 11/10/2021.

I loved this one! I've seen a lot of Hallmark military-themed Christmas movies, and Operation Christmas might be my favorite. With great chemistry between the leads, an important message, a love story to root for, and a tear at the end, what else is there?

Whenever you see Marc Blucas's name in a Hallmark, it's a good clue that the tv movie will feel more like a big screen movie than most of the others. He's a Hollywood-turned-Hallmark who treats every film as though it's the most important of his career. Plus he's a cutie, too! And Hallmark has a great type-cast for him as a strong soldier with a big heart. Tricia Helfer completely holds her own and doesn't let him take up all the energy on the screen. She's also strong, a career woman and single mom, but when she meets Marc on a Christmas vacation, she lets her girly sensibilities take over. He loses her number, she doesn't get his message, and a one big misunderstanding later, they're given a second chance.

What's the conflict? Even the lightest of Hallmarks has a conflict, right? This movie teaches about the sacrifice needed to become a military spouse. Tricia doesn't know if she has what it takes, and even though she's falling in love with him, she can't stand certain things about his job. When he has to leave, he has to leave. He can't tell her where or for how long, and she'll never know if she'll even see him again.

Will love conquer all? Watch this touching Hallmark Christmas flick to find out. Any military family, or any girl with a boyfriend in the service, will need their hankies at the end of the movie. I highly recommend this one; my family looks forward to it every year.
