syracuse10 What can I say about The Spirit of Christmas? It perfectly blends mystery, suspense, and romance into one fantastic holiday movie. Kate is the perfect character to assist Daniel in discovering the truth about his murder on that cold, winter night. Seeing the development of Kate's and Daniel's relationship throughout the story was truly heartwarming. They went from Daniel wanting Kate to leave the inn and never return to being the perfect match for one another, a true Christmas Miracle. I can't say enough about the writing and acting. Just superb. It was heartbreaking to learn that Daniel;s cousin was his murderer, but at the same time you felt compassion for the cousin due to his circumstances. The true character of Daniel was on display in this moment, however, when he forgave his cousin. Enormous growth from the Daniel we first met. I loved this movie and would recommend to anyone that is looking for a great, fun, loving Christmas movie for the holidays. Merry Christmas and a cooked goose for everyone!

charles murray When I began watching this movie I expected it to be the typical ghost story type movie where woman falls for man then man vanishes and never returns plot but no, not the case. I also will say the scenery/filming location was simply magnificent, so beautiful. The acting was far better than I'd expected and the ending was a total surprise. This movie reminded me of movies way back in the 1970's/'80's when movies taught/reminded us of our values, taught us forgiveness and much more. Well done, I simply loved every minute of it. I'd encourage anyone to watch this movie, you won't be disappointed no matter your age. I usually pass on these lifetime or network Christmas movies but am glad I chose this one to begin the Christmas season with.

magical-kingdom This is a unique Christmas film. Most Christmas movies are pretty predictable,typical cookie cutter you see this time of year. All share the same uplifting purpose which is sorely needed. It has a great plot and very good acting. Keeping you mesmerized,wondering what would happen next and was there going to be a happily-ever-after. Put me in a teary eyed mood when it appeared Daniel was saying his goodbyes.Thomas Beaudoin,as Daniel, was excellent as a handsome gentleman playing the ghost. Jen Lilley, as Kate,an ambitious attorney sent from Boston to Vermont 12 days before Christmas to broker the sale of the haunted mansion.An absolutely stunning,brilliant film that has everything, romance, mystery,nostalgia, beautiful realistic winter setting at a gorgeous Victorian estate...Hollybrook Inn in Vermont.Highly recommended for those of us who enjoy these movies but would appreciate a change of pace without sacrificing the theme.

sammuncy This is a unique take on TV Christmas movies. I enjoy watching most TV Christmas movies but so many are pretty predictable kind of like they are out of a box and just fill in the blanks and have an unnaturalness in the acting. But this movie is different and has a great plot and very good acting and very good sets. I challenge anyone to find a Christmas TV movie like this one. Fun to watch and very different from the Christmas TV movie standard formula. During the whole movie I was interested and not sure of how things were going to turn out, which is something I like in a movie. The lead female was very good and very believable and just a natural for the part. And the lead male was equally as good and well suited to the part. And the supporting cast fit very well. I never once lost interest or was able to jump to the ending in my mind.
