    Wow how dare you? Big city career woman goes home to small town for the holidays and falls in love with her childhood sweetheart and dumps her evil fiance who worked on Christmas, big city career woman who swore off men falls in love and surprise! he’s actually the prince of a small but wealthy English-speaking country in Europe, and big city career woman goes home to small town for the holidays and saves one of the local businesses from foreclosure and falls in love with the owner who is also hot Santa are totally different stories.

      You forgot the part where there is a misunderstanding 2/3 of the way through the movie and it looks like they will break up but they get back together at the end and Christmas is saved.

      What about this: Big city woman goes home from her overseas job after many years to her hometown, but is met with suspicion by the town sherrif and she is run out of town. When she once more tries to get home, she’s arrested and abused by the sherrifs deputy in the jail, when she flips out and fights her way out of the station and flees into the woods on a motorbike. The local police pursue her on foot and in helicopters, but she evades capture while subduing her pursuers. Eventually she is cornered and then trapped in an abandoned mine by the national guard. Against all odds, she escapes and steals some military hardware, determined to lay waste to the town that treated her so poorly. After blowing up a gas station, she holes up in a building, planning to fight to the death. Eventually her old boss appears and after she tells of the horrors she saw in her big city office job, he convinces her to surrender.

      I picture the lead female character being played by Sylvester Stallone.

        Now this is the Hallmark movie I would watch all the way through. Or, the one where Big City woman meets up with her estranged husband at the Nakatomi Plaza for his office Christmas party. After thieves take the party guests hostage, she has to use her counter-terrorism skills to rescue them and stop the robbery. Also Snape falls off a building at the end.

        Just add her falling in love with (and then subsequently blowing up?) a man in a flannel shirt and I think you could talk hallmark into it.

        You have about two months to do that, then it’s banned and you’re probably burned at the stake
