“Candy Coated Christmas” (** out of four) was a syrupy and sugary confection about a woman (Molly McCook) returning to her old hometown to reunite with family and falls in love with a bakery owner (Ree Drummond) and soon the holiday sparks start flying. Typically sweet and uplifting Hallmark-style holiday production but has too much lard and empty calories to make it satisfying. Only for those who have to watch any and all Christmas movies on television and for Hallmark diehards.
