The mostly Canadian cast, none of whom I remember seeing before, is fine. Yes, it's stolen from It's a Wonderful Life but it does have a couple of nice variations, and in its plot point involving an old song written by a dead loved one, even borrows a bit from the climax of The Bishop's Wife. Can Harold get everything straight before midnight on Christmas Eve? I give this Hallmark holiday movie a few extra points for its somewhat original plot. ![]() But Harold has his hands full since Dave is a little gun-shy because of his own failed romances, and just as it looks like Corrine is starting to see Dave in a romantic light, that rat bastard Tim comes back in the picture. This is when the movie takes a "Wonderful Life" twist: Harold is actually an angel who has been assigned to get Corrine and Dave together. ![]() Wouldn't you know that, a couple days later, Harold winds up as a seasonal worker at the music store. Her favorite ornament, also from her grandmother, is of a group of carolers, and one night, when some carolers come to her door, she notices that the front-and-center singer, Harold, is wearing the same snowflake scarf that one of the ornament carolers is wearing. ![]() The last one she got was on a Christmas Eve before he was reported killed, and when she died, she gave the song to Corrine as a keepsake, which she treasures. We know a bit about Corrine's background: her grandfather, overseas during WWII, sent her grandmother songs instead of traditional letters. However, Christmas is coming up and she is fresh off a break-up with Tim, who keeps calling her hoping for a second chance. ![]() Corrine is a musician who works in a music store her boss Dave is an old friend of hers, and is sweet on her but would never show it because she has never seen him as boyfriend material.
