Family dysfunction. Rekindled romance. Kwanza. Grandma and mom aren't getting along. Mom wants to leave town to start on her own. They stand next to each other all day yet don't communicate. Granddaughter wants to fix it. Ella left Griffin behind two years ago. She is home for the holidays and they reconnect. As in so many stories like this, they get thrown together to work on the festival. This goes about like you'd expect, but obviously it shares screen time with the other plotlines so I won't talk about chemistry. I knew nothing about Kwanza. I looked it up on Wikipedia. What I found about the origins of Kwanza is more radical than what's portrayed here, or maybe it's better to say that what appears in this movie is sanitized some from the origins. I like how it's done here because it stresses a celebration of ethnicity as opposed to racial separation which is how Wikipedia portrays the origins. The 7 principles are briefly named and described. The different days of the celebration are touched on. The acting is good. There isn't a lot of comedy but the dialogue is good. Instead of natural scenery of a famous location we get to see the costumes and festivities of Kwanza. I'm not familiar with Lyndie Greenwood but she does a good job and makes an appealing Ella.

I learned so much more about Kwanza and I thank this film for that. The rituals were all played out in great detail. All the characters were believable and realistic in terms of family dynamics, and the love story was an added plus. There was wonderful chemistry between the starring couple. There were also some seasoned great actors here, including Holly Robinson Pete who always adds acting credibility. Heritage is so important and the Christmas Hallmark's best films this year discussed and taught us about different holiday cultures. It was nice to get away from the formulaic Hallmark films of past.

Kwanzaa in a Hallmark Christmas movie is enlightening and sentimental. The relationships between Ella, her Mom and Grandma is true-to-life and nice to see their relationship and selves blossom with honest conversation and the sentimentality that the Christmas season brings. This movie seems a good fit for Hallmark Movies and Mysteries with a very somber and serious tone, as the death of Ella's Grandpa has shattered the family's relationships and Christmas traditions. I love each and every character, but none of them are peppy, they are hurt and confused and navigating life as they know it. Holiday Heritage Summary Ella returns home for Christmas to find her Mother and Grandma in a strained relationship as they work together at the family bakery, both grieving in different ways after the passing of Ella's beloved Grandpa who united the family through Kwanzaa traditions and principles. Ella's past boyfriend, Griffin is now the town Mayor, and has taken over many of Grandpa Riley's traditions. Ella needs Griffin's help and her Grandpa's direction to reunite her Mom and Grandma. Through making Kwanza cookies and celebrating both Christmas and Kwanza, all three generations of women blossom finding each other and themselves. "The best interest of our family should be at the heart of our decisions." -Ella's Grandpa Riley.

Favorite scene with Ella Chapel (Lyndie Greenwood) - In her Old School Classroom. Talking about Purpose. And then being Caught In The Middle of her Mom's and Grandma's Battle when her Mom Finally Reveals her True Purpose. Ella - and Lyndie Greenwood - was such a Sweetheart! BTW #1, I Loved, Loved, Loved this Movie! A Beautiful, Beautiful Movie about Kwanzaa, Community, Friendship, Family, and Love! BTW #2, I Love, Love, Love Holly Robinson Peete (Micah)! She Rocks!!! BTW #3, I Love, Love, Love Brooks Darnell (Griffin)! He is So Charming and So Hot!!! BTW #4, Here's to Roots and Here's to Wings. Set in Massachusetts and Pennsylvania.

Lyndie Greenwood, as Ella, is bright eyed, beautiful and fun to watch. She's a graphic designer who left her Pennsylvania small town for Beantown. Brooks Darnell (just signed by Hallmark to a multi-pic deal) plays her broken-hearted old boyfriend Griffin. He's smooth, dapper and the town's mayor. They make a lovely couple. And they have chemistry. But this movie is as much (and probably more) about Ella's mother (Holly Robinson Peete) and grandmother (Darlene Cooke) and their dysfunctional relationship. And that conflict gets tiresome. What we've got here is a failure to communicate. Ella and Brooks 2 years before, and Mom and Grandma for, what, forever? Ella does her best to fix the problem, but it's not her problem to fix (despite what Grandpa Riley told her). And so, for the better part of 2 hours, we watch this fraught mother daughter interaction that could have, and should have, been solved over a couple of glasses of wine. Momma Micah: why can't we ever use my recipes? Grandma Tess: I miss Grandpa Riley and now all I care about is work Ugh. Just talk to each other. And what's with Chicago? Why would Momma Micah move 500 miles away (and 1,000 miles from her daughter in Boston)? I don't know how much money she saved working in the bakery with her mom but such a dramatic physical and career change is going to cost her some money. If's she really going to open up her own bakery in a new and different city? With no help? And I never heard why? Still, I enjoyed the second chance romance and the reaffirmation of family values. Grandpa Riley: "Do and say everything with love." "You're stronger together than apart"
