Reception

[edit]

The film received mixed reviews.

Reviewer Donna Rolfe of The Dove Foundation called the holiday movie "charming", further adding the film "is a heartwarming story about living your dreams and not just chasing them. Many children have moved away from their homes to places they thought may be better, only to find out there is no place better than where they grew up to find their dreams."[10]

In her review for Common Sense Media, Renee Schonfeld rated An Evergreen Christmas two stars from five, concluding: ... "Ms. Closshey, recognized as a talented musician, wrote the music, participated in the filmmaking, and clearly wants to add acting to her résumé; it’s an adequate effort. Overall it's an OK but uninspired film for older kids and teens that's unlikely to inspire multiple viewings."[11]
