A Very Nutty Christmas
Hard-working bakery owner Kate Holiday, has more cookie orders than she has time to fill this holiday season, and when her boyfriend suddenly breaks up with her, any shred of Christmas joy she was hanging onto, immediately disappears. After Kate hangs the last ornament on the tree and goes to bed, she awakens the next morning to a little bit of Christmas magic. She gets the surprise of her life when Chip, a handsome soldier who may or may not be the Nutcracker Prince from Tchaikovsky’s “The Nutcracker,” appears in her living room.

It's not good, fact. It is kinda likeable though.
I didn't really enjoy 'A Very Nutty Christmas' but it has its heart in the right place and I came away from viewing it feeling alright about it. Melissa Joan Hart and Barry Watson, despite iffy chemistry, are probably the main reasons for that, Watson in particular. The supports are OK too.
The film does drag in patches and the whole vibe of it feels too clean and too acted out, which is a weird thing to say, granted, but it's just not a film that comes across as natural - every inch of it feels overtly constructed.
Not one I'd personally recommend, though you could do worse.
