A Cookie Cutter Christmas (2014 TV Movie)
7/10

Seeing Erin Krakow as a teacher made me want to love this movie from the start. As the teacher on Once Calls the Heart, you can't help but expect genuine love, humility and generosity especially for her students.

Throw in a cute little girl as the daughter of an attractive new dad in the school, James, and you have a great start.

Unfortunately Christie has a very mean competitive streak. While it isn't nearly as nasty as her grade school rival, Penny, it still detracts from Christie and really is inconsistent with her character.

We see an obvious attraction forming between Christie and James and between Christie and Lilly. What else would you expect?

The rivalry, embodied in the cookie baking contest, becomes the central thread of the movie. I think you could tell that something was coming with the recipes, even though my guess wasn't quite right.

The ending was too abrupt, too quick.
