THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – A CHRISTMAS TOY SHOP WISH (2019)

 

Anne Garrison (Brooke D'Orsay) is head toy buyer for Sinclair's chain of department stores and is riding high when she leaves New York City for North Bay, Maine, to help her father Bill (Ron Lea) close up his store, Garrison's Toys, due to his impending retirement.

What he wants is for Anne to take over the store and run it, but she already has a job, which she keeps reminding him.

So, her mindset is very much on packing up the store and returning to the City, but then she meets Wood Mill manager Keith McClain (Trevor Donovan) and his ten-year-old daughter Jessie (Jenna Weir) and her mind is not quite as set as it was.

In part its due to a set of themed wooden Santa’s which Anne carved just before she went away to college, which seem to work magic for the people who receive them.

But also, it’s the love and nostalgia that brings the city girl back to her small-town roots.
