Through most of this movie, the talk was about the daughter spending Christmas on a trip to Hawaii with her Dad. About 1 1/2 hours in to the movie the girl decides she wants to change her plans, at the last minute, and stay with her friends and not go with Dad. After discussing the change with her Mom, who says that she knew her Dad wouldn't mind the flip, because he would want her to be happy. Christmas Eve, the time of departure came and went with never another mention about it. I don't think this is realistic. Yes he would want her to be happy, but I believe this was shared custody and if this was arranged, like it seemed to be, the Dad would not be too thrilled with his exwife's lack of involvement to make it happen; not to mention the expense lost for the cancellation. She should have offered to at least partially reimburse him, for her involvement in the change of plans. However, this is Hallmark and we can't have any conflict😏
