Movie #1609 ........................."Marrying Father Christmas"

Movie #1609 "Marrying Father Christmas" is the third installment of this Father Christmas series of films, and for my money, it is the weakest.  It still has the very genuine leads (Erin Krakow being the girl, and one of my favorite actresses of these Hallmark films), but the story is really weak.  Each of the films has a mystery in the center --- The first one is who Erin's father really was and by the end of that film, she meets the love of her life and gains an entire new family (relations of her actor dad); the second one dealt with outing her dad and ending up somewhat of a scandal that put her new family in a somewhat embarrassing situation, but all comes out good in the end and her bf proposes to her.  Now , in this one, there's a man who is following Erin around and he says he is related to her mom --- meanwhile, she is planning the marriage to her bf  --- it ends up happily, but the center conflict was very weak and not much of a story.  They end up married (not giving away anything there --- look at the title) , so I'm wondering if there will be more in this series or if this is the end.  I think it is okay to stop there......how many more big mysteries can there be in one person's life?  I give this 3.5 out of 5 stars.
