The story line is cheesy enough for a Christmas themed romance filled with a widower named Jonathan's (Tom Everett Scott) family Christmas traditions such as decorating the Christmas tree and how his daughter Leah (Sophie Neudorf) is befriended by a pretty airline stewardess named Sydney (Brooke Burns) while Leah flies home unaccompanied to meet her dad at the airport where Sydney is introduced to Jonathan by the pixy Leah.

There is a nice little hidden story line that tries to keep the audiences' interest piqued which Sydney is trying to unravel which is how her own parents first met in Chicago and fell in love, got married and had Sydney. Jonathan has lost his wife and little Leah's mother, whilst Sydney has lost both her parents which is why it has been difficult for Sydney to solve the mystery how her parents first met and fell in love in Chicago.

Jonathan's an investigative reporter so he agrees to help the airline stewardess Sydney unwarp the mystery of how Sydney's parents first met in his hometown of Chicago all the while the three main characters are continually repeating the word "CHRISTMAS" which gets to be rather annoying after the word "Christmas" is repeated in every second sentence. Also annoying was that permanent and grossly wide and perfect white smile of Sydney's as if she was having the time of her life with this little girl Leah she was assigned to watch on the plane trip back to Chicago and to which Jonathan went goo goo eyed over when he first met her at the airport when he picked up his daughter Leah.

I only rated it a 4 out of 10 IMDB rating for three reasons: 1. The word "CHRISTMAS" was repeated ad nauseum 2. The Christmas themed music that was piped in continuously gets boring after about 15 minutes in to this made for TV Christmas themed film 3. Brooke Burns permanent wide and shiny white teeth brimming smile all the way through this film made me want to throw up as no one could be that happy just doing their daily job because she attended to an unaccompanied minor on a flight home?
