A Very Vintage Christmas

 

A Very Vintage Christmas is a charming Lifetime original movie that delivers a quintessential holiday experience, following an antique shop owner named Dodie who discovers a hidden box of eclectic mementos. Taking it upon herself to deliver the items to their rightful owner, Dodie embarks on a heartwarming mission that defines the spirit of the season. Stars Tia Mowry-Hardrict as Dodie and Jesse Hutch as Edward.


I appreciated the diverse casting and thought Tia as Dodie and Jesse as Edward shared great on-screen chemistry as they navigated their differing worldviews; Dodie as a lover of all things vintage and Edward as a devotee of modern technology. Supported by the talented Patricia Richardson, the cast brought a lot of heart to this family-friendly romantic comedy.

Visually and tonally, the film leaned into classic Hallmark and Lifetime aesthetics, featuring vibrant colors, festive costumes, and a cozy score that enhanced the holiday atmosphere. While the plot was predictable, it remained a very cute and enjoyable watch that managed to weave in meaningful themes. The story highlighted that "easy isn’t always better" and emphasized the importance of following through on your commitments and never giving up on love.

Ultimately, this was a sweet, feel-good movie that is perfect for anyone looking for a relaxing and wholesome Christmas treat.
