Flipping for Christmas (2023, Katherine Barrell)

Christmas Island (2023)

We have another Hallmark movie that is available on Netflix for the rest of this month. Kate Gabriel (Rachel Skarsten) is a young pilot excited to change from her regional route on a major airline to flying private jets to exotic destinations. This how she meets the Sharpe family- dad Thomas Sharpe (Jefferson Brown), mom Helen Sharpe (Kate Drummond), teenage daughter Cali Sharpe (Britt Loder), and young son Finn Sharpe (Lincoln MacNeil). They are flying privately to the Alps for Christmas and for a business meeting for the Sharpe's lifestyle company they own and run. Their nanny is waiting in the Alps for them already.

Kate is excited to prove herself, so she doesn't respond well when air traffic control tells her she has to land due to a storm coming in off the Atlantic. She spends a minute arguing with the officer and then asking the Sharpes their opinion, and loses landing spots at JFK and La Guardia and has to go to a small airport off the coast of Nova Scotia in a place called Christmas Island. Once they land, she meets Jim MacLeod (Peter McNeill), the local postmaster, and his adult son, Olliver MacLeod (Andrew Walker), who also happens to be the air traffic control officer Kate was just arguing with. The Sharpes are less than thrilled about being stuck in some random coastal town in Canada and stuck at the airport, so Jim offers to let them stay with him and says that Kate can stay with the mayor. The Sharpes load into Jim's vehicle and Olliver drives Kate. They all go to Jim's house to meet Mayor Maggie Hughes (Lauren Hammersly), who is also Jim's daughter and Olliver's sister. Kate offers to help Helen with anything she needs, and Helen asks her to make Christmas for her children as the nanny was in charge of that and she is already in the Alps. Kate is not particularly fond of Christmas (she does trauma dump later in the film, so we do find out why), so she asks Maggie for help. Maggie says she isn't particularly great either, but she knows someone who is- her brother Olliver. Kate begrudgingly asks Olliver for help, and Olliver is more than happy to oblige, complete with Santa hats for everyone.

I was much more happy with the chemistry here than in my previous review, even if you could not pay me personally to be in a relationship with a pilot. The coastal town environment was fun if not fresh, and again, this is a real place, but I couldn't find much about vacationing there, so I'm not sure this would be a good tourism push. Predictable for sure, but still well done enough to be enjoyable to watch. Overall, 3 stars.

A Ouija board plays an integral role in The Exorcist, and now the film has its own mystifying oracle from The Op Games. Priced at $29.99, the glow-in-the-dark Ouija board comes with a planchette to summon spirits.
