Kathleen is career driven woman who gets snowed in with the daughter of the man she's dating, Lucy, and an older man who rescued her from some hoodlums, who misses his bus to see his family, and she finally takes him home to stay with her. It is a delightful story about the heroine finding herself again through the two people she's snowed in with and forgiving herself for thinking she was responsible, as most children do, for her father leaving when she was young.
Sounds cliche' doesn't it? However, and the twists come with Lucy acting as a therapist to help Kathleen face her past, and discovering the rescued man, Sam, was actually her dead father.
Whoa! Wait a minute! Sam was dead?
Yep.
Hmmm. It is interesting to note that this film has been well received and widely watched world wide, yet no one seems to realize that 'A Christmas Snow' is actually a Christian paranormal. How? Sam was a ghost - a necessary element in the genre.
Yet, Christian publishers are shying away from the genre when it has already been shown how to successfully use a ghost in a story about forgiveness and moving on with one's life.
With the success of this film, the paranormal genre needs to be rethought, although not used as it is in the secular market. Or perhaps it should in order to open doors for witnessing to unbelievers.
A series to aid the Bible learner in discovering deeper truths in the God's Word and giving them tools to do so. Also, later in the series, demonstrations on how to ask the 'hard' questions and how to use the tools to uncover them. Will from time to time waiver from study to add reviews of films, books, authors, etc. that push the traditional view of Christianity.

Excellent ending. Fooled me. It was heartwarming and when she saw her dad outside the window it made me get choked up. Must watch.
