My Christmas Hero

My Christmas Hero

By Great American, 2023:

This wonderful romantic drama brings to light the reality of post-traumatic experiences our soldiers – our heroes – deal with after conflicts. Community plays a vital role in helping our heroes heal and overcome obstacles they face back home. While the main character’s fall in love, they work with a charity which helps soldiers heal in mind, body, and spirit. Major Ross also helps Nicole find information about her grandfather who died in WWII bringing healing to her family as well.

Candace Cameron Bure plays the lead, Dr. Nicole Ramsey. She is one of my favorite actresses and always delivers a wonderful performance with a believable character. Gabriel Hogan charms as the romantic interest, Major Daniel Ross. His dimples and flirty nature captivate easily. I completely identify with Nicole’s stammering smitten reaction to the very handsome Major. Historically, I am either oblivious to a man’s interest or incoherent and embarrassed. Candace and Gabe’s on screen chemistry was my favorite element of this film.

Teryl Rothery is always a pleasure to watch. She portrays Nicole’s matchmaking mother, Fran. Rothery is another of my favorite actresses. When Teryl’s character on Stargate was killed in action, I cried. She was missed in the following seasons dearly and I love seeing her in other shows no matter her role. Robin Dunne is a great addition to the cast as Captain Mark Jennings.

I hope everyone who watches this movie has a “Forever Christmas” with someone they love. Enjoy!
