Plot: Needing to acquire family farm to complete a business deal, CEO Amy Van Aston forces her Casanova son Joseph to seduce the woman owner into complying or else lose his lavish lifestyle. Mistaken for an expected ranch hand, Joseph accepts the job as a means to infiltrate the situation and get the owner to sell. Unfortunately, manual labor isn't in his background, and neither is falling for a woman. With his carefree life on the line, a wealthy charmer poses as a ranch hand to get a hardworking farmer to sell her family's land.
My Movie Review: The movie is a classic cheesy romantic movie turned to be actually good this one comes with a real-life love story as well fun fact the lead actors are married in real life!! A California Christmas is such a heartwarming movie with a lighthearted plot this lead actors really did their job perfectly, smooth show and they sure have an amazing on screen chemistry! Per say this film given me so much impact a rich guy can be fall in love with a ranch girl who never experience to see snow in her entire life a simple lifestyle in ranch that Joseph realized that he can change all those luxurious lifestyle into simple country side young man all because of love as this film, it gives us much lesson and it's really true that love can change everything:) A California Christmas tells the story of Joseph, a wealthy businessman on a quest to get a promotion at work Van Aston Enterprises wants to buy a farm to use it as a warehouse but no amount of money or power can convince the owner, Callie Bernet, into selling her property as final resort Mrs. Van Aston wants her Joseph to talk to the steadfast woman before Christmas:)
Critic Reviews: A California Christmas on Netflix is a Hallmark Christmas movie that isn’t actually made by Hallmark. Directed by Shaun Paul Piccinino and starring IRL married couple Josh and Lauren Swickard (the latter of whom also wrote the script), it’s a classic fish-out-of-water romantic comedy that delivers on the tropes you know and love. You’ve almost certainly seen this movie before, but if that’s what you’re looking for, you won’t be disappointed. There is absolutely nothing here that you haven't seen before, but if what you're looking for is a laidback romance that hits all the comforting notes you expect it, A California Christmas will definitely scratch that itch. The acting and production value is far better than a Hallmark Christmas movie, which perhaps will take away the fun for some viewers; but, for me, made it infinitely more watchable. A pleasant little nothing that would be right at home in Hallmark's holiday flirtations over fruitcake romances. The tropes are in lock-step with the caricature! Swickard and his wife are certainly charming, but this one has to go to Ali Afshar as Joseph’s wine-loving driver, Leo. Every moment Afshar is on screen is a genuine delight, from Leo’s love of the finer things to his attempt to talk cowboy. I really hope to see Afshar in few projects moving forward:)
