However, I could understand why Anna had stayed away so long, because everyone was quite horrible to her. Her sister Ella (Morgana Wyllie) in particular was a b!tch.

At last! This film was something different, it had some heart and feeling alongside the usual romance and with lots of Christmassy moments. I did like this one, even though the romance was definitely secondary to Anna reconnecting with her Grandpa and the memory problems that he had. I would have liked it to be an extra ten minutes longer to show more of her connection with Greg, but it was still good. You are who you are because of your family, and Our Family Christmas Memories captures all the festive traditions and holiday memories that make your family unique.

Overall, I would probably say that it was more Anna's (Sarah Power) story than about the romance between her and Markian Tarasiuk in the role of Greg. She came to understand things better and realised the importance of family, as well as what can be missed by not being around for them. Beau Bridges was actually very good in his role of the Grandpa, who was suffering with dementia and that made it so much easier to hope for a miracle at the end.
