Returning home from college one Christmas, young artist Thomas Kinkade (Jared Padalecki) is dismayed to learn that attempts to promote local tourism have failed and his mother (Marcia Gay Harden) is dangerously close to losing the family cottage to foreclosure. Inspired by his mentor, Glen (Peter O'Toole), a famous artist who lives next door, Thom accepts a job painting a mural of his small, idyllic hometown. With Glen's help, Thom not only discovers his calling as the Painter of Light but also helps the town rediscover the true spirit of Christmas in this nostalgic, humorous and heartwarming true story destined to become a holiday classic. (official distributor synopsis)

You'd at least expect some effort to create a cozy Christmas vibe, but that never really showed up. So, I’m left wondering what the point of this movie even was... probably nothing worth mentioning. Even Peter O'Toole's appearance doesn’t help clear things up.
