Synopsis

It's the approach to the Christmas season, and visitors are starting to descend on the Northern Vermont Christmas tourist town of Evergreen. One of those is New Yorker Katie Connell, a writer with one published novel under her belt, she who is now doing freelance work as she contemplates novel number two whenever that will happen. This vacation is to experience a little more of life which she feels will make her a better writer. What starts as a vacation ends up being a working trip as her mother Patti Connell, the editor of a business magazine, asks her to write a story for immediate publication, Patti's hope that it will be the transition for Katie to staff and more stable life which Katie has always resisted. Katie decides to find a story in Evergreen and its Christmas traditions.

What Katie feels about Evergreen - especially her immediate attraction to and subsequent encounters with native Evergreenian Ben Baxter, one of the town's librarians who once worked as a big city reporter - may be different from what would make a magazine-worthy story. What happens between Katie and Ben may be affected by their diverging life paths, Ben who nonetheless has contemplated returning to the city to resume a writing career, and what Katie may end up writing about Ben's beloved hometown. Katie's story may be overtaken by the latest goings-on in town where there is evidence that there is a fifty year old time capsule somewhere that was meant to be opened this year, also marking the fiftieth anniversary of the town's famed Christmas Festival.

6/10

The emotional depth of the soundtrack adds layers to the storyline, enhancing the moments of romance and nostalgia between the characters. The melodies evoke a sense of nostalgia and longing, perfectly complementing the themes of love and self-discovery in the film.

4/10

I found the background music in the film to be overly dramatic and distracting. Instead of enhancing the emotional moments and festive atmosphere of Evergreen, the soundtrack felt like it was trying too hard to manipulate my feelings. The music often felt out of place and forced, taking away from the authenticity and sincerity of the story being told.

The use of traditional Christmas carols and original compositions in the soundtrack creates a sense of familiarity and warmth, making it easy for the audience to connect with the characters and their journey in Evergreen. The music truly brings the town to life and adds a magical touch to the Christmas festivities portrayed in the film.
