THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – ONCE UPON A MAIN STREET (2020)

 

Amelia Lewis and Vic Manning (Vanessa Lachey and Ryan McPartlin) are competing against each other to purchase a commercial property in White Oak, Nevada, Amelia,  wants it so she can open a year-round Christmas store, whereas Vic, wants to open a chocolate shop.

Having no luck getting a decision from the real-estate agent they independently decide to consult with the property owner directly and discover that Elder Dubois (Patrick Duffy) lives just an hour away in Castle Creek.

They arrive independently but are together when they meet Elder, he tells them he is unable to make a snap decision.

Being recently widowed and estranged from his young-adult daughter Marjorie (Eva La Dare) and having the onerous task of chairing the Castle Creek Commercial Centre’s annual Christmas decorating competition.

It was clear to them both that his heart wasn’t in it, so they offer to take on the job in his place to ease his burden, in return, Elder invites them to stay in his home.

Their initial motive was to ingratiate themselves in order to get a favourable decision, and they doubted their resolve after meeting the needy Castle Creek merchants, however after they overcame their suspicions about each other, they grew to enjoy  working on the decorating together, and in the process, Amelia and Vic start to fall for each other.
