THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – A CHANCE OF SNOW (1998)

 

A Chance of Snow is a heart-warming tale of a family’s special Christmas that offers an unforgettable lesson in love and trust.

The story begins when two sisters Maddie and Katherine (Jobeth Williams and Dey Young) and Maddie’s daughters Kirby and Ellie (Traci Christofore and Angelica Cassidy) head to the Minnesota St Paul airport to visit their mother’s home for the holidays.

Not long after their arrival they run in to Maddie’s soon-to-be-ex-husband, sportswriter, Matt (Michael Ontkean) who is there to catch a flight to Miami to visit his father and while they are there a blizzard hits and deposits a blanket of snow, and closes the airport.

Initially the uncomfortable situation leads to an argument which is overhead by Earl and Ruth, (Charles Durning and Barbara Barrie) a loving older couple who make it their mission to get Maddie and Matt back together for the holidays.

Trapped at the airport the two weary travellers suddenly find they have time to re-evaluate their relationship, and beyond the hurt and distrust that separates them, the warmth of family and wisdom of new friends leads them, eventually, to discover they have nothing more to do except fall in love again.

Katherine meanwhile who played her part in the reconciliation by taking charge of the children met up with former class mate Craig Johnson (Peter Syvertsen) and his son Jason (Evan Gabriel) and they found love of their own.
