Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Ashley has been on her own all her life. She feels even more alone this Christmas as she searches fruitlessly for a job. The seasonal cheer around her only rubs salt in her wounds as she scrapes by to support herself and her dog, Dash. But her neighbor, Nick, knows exactly what to do. He offers her a job, to be his assistant in the best work-helping others. There's one catch that Ashley must honor though-she can't tell anyone that her new boss is a sort of Secret Santa, helping others anonymously. Through her new job, Ashley meets Will, a writer for a business magazine who uncovers what Ashley is doing, and more importantly, Nick's involvement. As Ashley and Nick help people in need, Ashley tries to protect Nick's secret, and her own heart, while Will must weigh the consequences of what he does.

Film/TV that made my mum cry: 'Prison Break' | 'The Whale' | 🆕 'Christmas Angel'. This is a festive movie with heart. I enjoyed it. Sure it has your usual made-for-television amateur-ness/nonsense and Xmas flick cheese, though I'd rank it higher than what is produced normally by these sorta filmmakers. Kari Hawker and K.C. Clyde are decent, though Bruce Davison is the clear standout - he makes the film, no doubt. You can't really knock a movie with such a positive message, either.
