Originally aired in 2007 as a tv movie on ABC Family's "25 Days of Christmas" package, Christina Milian stars as a harried single woman living in the same apartment building as her overbearing Italian mother, played by the Soprano's shrink Lorraine Bracco. Christina works at her mother's deli as well, and fantasizes about escaping to the perfect community. A package arrives for her that contains a mysterious snowglobe. One night after her family tries to take over her apartment, even trying to force her to move to a smaller apartment in the building, she retreats to her bedroom to study her newfound toy. She shakes it, and is magically transported to a "perfect" place, where everyday is preparing for Christmas. But soon she begins to realize it's not so perfect after all, though nothing sinister is going on. Then her friend in this fantasy land manages to come through to her world, and the misadventures begin. Along the way, she realizes her life isn't so bad after all, and her boyfriend in real life might just be Mr. Right.

Although children under 10 might not understand Christina's adult problems, it should be suitable for all family members.

I first watched this ABC Family Christmas movie this past Christmas and was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked it! The story centers around Angela (Christina Milian), a New Yorker who longs for an old-fashioned Christmas like the ones in the movies. This is often difficult due to her loud, crazy, and meddling family that always seems to be in her way. They don't enjoy Christmas as much as Angela, and this frustrates her to no end. One evening Angela receives a snowglobe, which to her contains the perfect Christmas setting, and wishes she could be there. Well, her wish is granted and what ensues is definitely not what she expected. Angela eventually learns that Christmas is what you make of it and that you should appreciate what you have, crazy family and all. :)

I would highly recommend this movie during the holiday season or anytime you want to get into the Christmas spirit! You won't be disappointed!

I have been waiting for this movie to come out on DVD as well as replay on television. This has to be an instant classic. I just loved Christina Milian in this and thought this was a unique and wonderful story. I hope to make this movie a Christmas tradition.

An excellent modern Christmas movie. Cristina Milian performance was refresh, different and stylish. The village, the other actors like Lorraine Bracco make this movie ideal for all ages. Remember that it's an ABC Family Movie

This was a great movie. I love amazon because I really wanted this movie and I have been trying to get it from Columbia House. They don't carry movies like this, but amazon had it. Great movie, especially during the holidays.

I saw this movies as it was being aired. I thought it was so family-like. The end results family is your best friends. It is a nice home movie.

these movie was another great movie that family made for christams i would highly recomnned these movie for christmas lovers everywhere

I <3 Snowglobe!!! This is a wonderful abc family film for Xmas (& the rest of the year!!!). Christina Milian is so adorable and beautiful in this movie!!! The film takes place in Brooklyn,NY. The story is about a magic snowglobe and how Angela transports back & forth there. Inside the snowglobe it is the perfect Christmas! At first Angela loves the snowglobe village, but be careful what you wish for! Eventually, Angela comes to realize that nothing is perfect & she accepts her family just the way they are. At the end of the day, family is the most important thing in life. Who eats goose anyway? I'd take Lasagna anyday! lol

The interview with the cast was a nice feature because we get to see more of Christina Milian!!! The thing that made this movie cute was Xtina Milian!!! She is adorable talking with a Brooklyn accent (she was channeling Rosie Perez!) lol. If I had to be trapped in a snowglobe, I wouldn't mind it if Christina Milian was there as well!!! There are some cool Christmas songs in the movie too!!! There's a Britney Spears Xmas song and a Spice Girls Xmas song!! I recommend this movie to everyone who loves Christmas!!!

Britney Spears "My Only Wish (This Year)"

Spice Girls "Sleigh Ride"

Christina Milian won the 2008 Imagen Award for Snowglobe in the TV Actress category.

We saw this movie as a family when it first aired and thought is was very cute. Our two daughters thought is was very cute and we were happy to have another family movie to watch. This is now oe our rotation of holiday movies.

"In the ABC Family holiday movie, a mystical snowglobe transports Angela (Christina Milian), who longs for the perfect Christmas away from her boisterous family, into an idyllic Christmas winter wonderland. But when the two worlds unexpectedly collide, Angela struggles to reconcile her situation and ultimately has to make a choice about what really defines her perfect Christmas"

I stumbled upon this movie by channel-flipping, and I was pleasantly surprised to find it sweet, unique, genuine, and hilarious. I absolutely love it! I'd give it ten stars if I could. =)
