What Is Hallmark’s A Cozy Christmas Inn About?

According to the Hallmark synopsis, real estate tycoon Sharon Farris (Fox) is a girl who knows what she wants for Christmas. Skip those diamonds and yachts! What she wants is a cute bed and breakfast in the town of Garland, Alaska. That is the town that knows how to do Christmas right.

Therefore, Sharon sends off her junior executive, Erika (Sweetin), to make the purchase and perhaps even get a promotion. When she arrives, she discovers that her former college boyfriend, Andy Holliday (O’Donnell) is the owner. Now she has to convince Andy, and his father, Frank (Doyle-Murray), to sell. Erika doesn’t want to be a junior exec forever!

However, the city girl is quickly charmed by Garland, and by Andy. But, Andy and Frank are having a hard time with their business. They are close to bankruptcy.

Now, Erika uses all of her business know-how to help them dig out of this mess and keep that very place that her boss Sharon wants her to get at a bargain basement price.

But, can they do this before the December 25 deadline? Moreover, will Erika and Andy finally find their happily ever after?

  1. Back up the sleigh here a second. What happened to Holiday Shipping and to Dr Lauren? Are these issues addressed in the movie? What about Faith and Hattie? Inquiring minds need to know!

    1. I’ve been wondering the same thing!!! From one inquiring mind to another – I hope somebody answers this. Andy and Lauren were perfect…why mess with it?!

  2. This makes me really sad. Why? Hallmark could have come up with another fake Christmassy town. Why Garland? Are they just trying to erase Candace Cameron Bure? I don’t care personally much for Sweetin. I don’t mean it offensively, just don’t think she can act very well. She is tough to watch. And I don’t want to see her with “Dr. Lauren’s Andy.” They could have put in a younger brother of Andy for this movie as the love interest if they absolutely HAD to use Garland. I don’t want to see him with anyone but Lauren. It would have been awesome to even have Andy and Lauren with a small side role. I say thbbpt to you Hallmark. This was a bad idea. Which seems to be the story with you more and more, lately. Losing interest in the channel.

  3. I’m having a hard time that Hallmark’s messing with romances of the previous movie. I only found out that certain actresses and actors went to GAC. 😢

  4. I totally agree with all of you about this sequel movie. Andy and Lauren should have lived happily ever after. The fact that she leaves him to pursue her high profile career just invalidates all the life lessons in Christmas Under Wraps. They should have had her character die instead of leaving Garland. How disappointing!
