THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – CHRISTMAS MAIL (2010)

 

In this holiday romantic comedy, Kristi North (Ashley Scott) works two months out of the year and always doing the same job, handwriting responses to the children who wrote Santa letters.

Santa Claus, her father, sends her to a different post office depot every year and in the film she’s in Del Vista, California.

However, the Del Vista branch is managed by the egotistical Richard Fuller (Lochlyn Munro) who has no Christmas spirit whatsoever and won’t even allow any Christmas adornments.

He also believes Kristi to be a corporate spy, so he enlists the unwilling assistance of mail carrier Matt Sanders (A.J. Buckley) as assistant manager, and primarily his job was to spy on Kristi and report back to Fuller.

As a single man taking care of an eight-year-old child, his orphaned niece Emily (Piper Mackenzie Harris), Matt takes the job solely because he needs the money.

Unbeknown to him Emily writes to Santa about her Christmas wish which is to see her Uncle Matt happy.

Santa's response, via Kristi, who is unaware that Emily's Uncle Matt is the same as the Matt she works with, leads to Emily trying to act as matchmaker which is where the fun begins.

However, as a result of reluctantly trying to do his spying job Matt gets closer and closer to Kristi and in the process, Matt and Kristi start to fall for each other.

But all does not go smoothly and Fuller reveals all to Kristi out about Matt's clandestine work which almost drives them apart, but everything comes good in the end of a very enjoyable seasonal romantic comedy.
