Love Always, Santa is a 2016 romantic comedy television film first broadcast by Hallmark Movies & Mysteries. It was written by Brian Herzlinger and Jay Black, directed by Brian Herzlinger, and produced by MarVista Entertainment. The film was set in and partially filmed in Northfield, Minnesota.[2]
The daughter (Isadora Swann) of a widow (Marguerite Moreau) writes to Santa Claus, asking for her mother to find love again. A struggling writer (Mike Faiola), who has taken a job writing responses in Santa's name, receives the letter, and he finds new inspiration and the beginnings of a romance.
Philip Weyhe of the Northfield News called it "largely enjoyable, rather funny and a good time." Weyhe criticized the film for being sappy and predictable, but praised Isadora Swann's and Marguerite Moreau's performances.[3]
