Movie #2017 ........................."My Christmas Family Tree" (Hallmark)

 Movie #2017 "My Christmas Family Tree" (Hallmark) My favorite actor male lead is in this one (Andrew), and even thought the love story takes a less important position in comparison to the family love shown, the  ease in acting of the leads makes it work.  A woman with no family to speak of gets a paternal match  from a DNA company right before the Christmas season , a father she didn't know she had and someone she had never met.  He has a family already but invites her to spend the holidays with him and his family.  There is a turn that the trailer tells us will happen, unfortunately, but there's still another one , and that one I don't think worked as well.  Otherwise, I thoroughly enjoyed this film, esp. in that it takes time for her to work on a relationship with each one of the new family members, and that stuff is fun to watch, even though it involves the  ubiquitous snowball fights, decorating trees, etc.    I'd give it 4 out of 5 for being mostly different, along with being  believable.  And the leads are good!
