Dash & Lily just works. Abrams gives good smolder, and Francis is terrific, delivering a breakout performance in a role that could be intensely annoying but that she makes wounded and winning.

These eight episodes, each around 25 minutes, never drag; they fly by with tinsel fluttering behind them.

This show is horribly cute. I am smiling at all the potential mishaps that the two may get into and I can't remember the last time I shipped two teenagers. Christmas is truly a fun holiday for those who want love.

If all rom-coms took the genre more seriously as this one, we would not be subjected to the typical fluff that is churned out almost every week.

A narrativa é a melhor parte, de 10 ideias que essa série teve, 9 foram excepcionais, ou seja, para uma história de natal, não é que vale a pena assistir, VOCÊ DEVE ASSISTIR! É mais do que uma história natalina, é um roteiro que te proporciona desafiar a si mesmo, sobre quem é você, o que de fato procura e quer para o seu futuro.

Clever! Even though it is seasonally a Christmas romance, that plays a small part in the theme which I appreciated. Finally a romance with witt. You kind of knew where it was going, but each scene held back surprises. A short series that leaves everyone with a good feeling in the end, just what a great romance is supposed to do.

Original warmth to heal your soul! A story for old souls featuring the most honest and earnest type of hope and affection, a la high school romance. Dash and Lily has one of those PERFECT CASTS top to bottom with original faces and delightfully different personalities, telling a totally unique but believable story. It's during Christmas, but feels timeless. Do yourself a favor: watch, listen to the music, write a letter.
