HOME SWEET CHRISTMAS is a Christmas romance on Great American Family. Two childhood friends, Sophie and Sammy, reunite for the funeral of Sophie’s Great Uncle Henry. They used to spend Christmas at Henry’s maple farm. Henry bequeathed his farm and quaint farmhouse to both of them. A large agriculture company wants to buy the land and tear down the farmhouse. They both would like to preserve Uncle Henry’s maple farm and farmhouse, but they may have no choice. Will they find a solution? Will romance finally blossom?

HOME SWEET CHRISTMAS is a well-acted romance with some poignant moments. The movie stars Candace Cameron Bure and Cameron Mathison, who deliver appealing performances as Sophie and Sammy. However, the movie has a leisurely pace with light onscreen conflict. The movie several times promotes the idea that God directs people’s path in life. Sophie and Sammy recognize that, although they haven’t seen each other for 29 years, God has brought them back together. So, HOME SWEET CHRISTMAS promotes a God-centered, biblical view of romance. The story also promotes small business and family farms.
