“Twas The Text Before Christmas” – 2023

Posted on June 7, 2025June 7, 2025 by lindasusan13

If only our wrong numbers turned out so beautifully.

How often have you inadvertently sent a text to the wrong person; it’s such an uncomfortable feeling. Hopefully, the mistaken text didn’t contain anything offensive to the receiver.

We know and expect to everything to around for better, and they don’t disappoint us in this upbeat Holiday movie.

Nana, played by Jane Eastwood, sent a text to a number she thought was her Granddaughter’s. However, the number belonged to Addie, played by Merritt Patterson, who just broke up with her boyfriend. Addie receives the text and responds to the sender that they have the wrong number and snaps/sends a photo of herself to send with that response. Upon receiving the text, Nana apologizes but noticed that Addie had on a beautiful scarf in the photo she sent and asked where she got it. Addie sends her the link.

After Nana buys the scarf she decides to Face Time Addie to thank her. It’s then that they start chatting about where they are both from and what they are doing for the holidays. Nana ends the conversation with saying she hopes they keep in touch. Addie had mentioned that her dad was away this Christmas visiting her Brother. Shortly there after, Nana contacts Addie again and invites her to Christmas Dinner. Nana tells her that it’s a 4 hour trip by train from the City to Vermont where she lives. After seeing on social media that her ex-boyfriend is suddenly engaged, Addie calls Nana and accepts. She needed to do something different and exciting.

The relationship between Nana and Addie is a very warm and friendly one. Addie’s visit to Vermont is delightful and festive. What Addie didn’t know is that Nana has a very handsome son, James, played by Trevor Donovan.

The movie rapidly covers three years of Christmas Days, and you guessed it, by the third Christmas, there’s something brewing between Addie and James.

This really is a cute story line. I’ve watched it a few times.
