Anne-Marie Meyer

Anne-Marie Meyer made waves in 2024 with Believe in Christmas, a film that doesn’t just tug at your heartstrings—it yanks them. The story starts with Emily, a woman who’s basically allergic to holiday cheer. She’s burnt out, single, and has zero patience for the jingle bell madness swirling around her. But then, as fate loves to do, it throws her a curveball in the form of a letter from her childhood home. Suddenly, she’s back in her tiny hometown, surrounded by people who remember a version of her she barely recognizes. The town’s Christmas celebration is in full swing, with enough twinkling lights to power a small city, and Emily’s roped into helping save the community center from shutting down. Cue awkward bake sales, a grumpy (but weirdly charming) childhood crush, and a parade of nosy neighbors who are way too invested in her love life. She’s forced to confront old wounds, forgotten dreams, and—yep—the actual meaning of Christmas. It’s not all tinsel and snowflakes, though. There’s some real grit here: family drama, heartbreak, and a lot of second chances. What really hits is how the movie refuses to wrap everything up in a perfect bow. Emily messes up, people argue, and sometimes the “Christmas miracle” just means finding the guts to forgive yourself. Meyer’s performance keeps things grounded, even when the holiday chaos gets a little ridiculous. Honestly, it’s the kind of film that sneaks up on you—one minute you’re rolling your eyes at the cliches, and the next, you’re searching for tissues.
