The script seems to have been written specifically so Brandy had a Christmas movie to act in. It's nice that they did it in a way where she isn't the star of the movie but instead the supporting cast and the heart of the film.
It sets her up as the takeover Christmas Queen this year nicely in a way that Mariah only wishes she could and also found a way to include Mariah at the same time with her blessing.
I enjoyed it a lot more then I thought I would
