This holiday fare was one of the most watched on Hallmark in 2018. I personally haven't figured that one out yet. The view scenes shot inside Graceland was a draw; but the scenes outside the mansion on the lawn were not realistic. A Chicago-based bank executive, Laurel (Kellie Pickler) is assigned a week to travel to her former hometown of Memphis, to line up a purchase of one the city's oldest family-owned banks. She reunites with a former beau Clay (Wes Brown), now a local music promoter. This film is so predictable and Miss Pickler is miscast according to age. And her singing is nothing to look forward to. However a small highlight is the bits and pieces of Elvis' own holiday music. Brown is the only proven actor in the cast. Acting and dialogue are both below average. And how many times was Pickler required to sing "Silent Night", when in actuality she released a multi-track EP from the movie. By the way, Pickler is given producer credit.
