 THE CHRISTMAS RING is a sweet, delightful Christmas movie. It places equal value on its romantic plot, as well as people’s relationships with family members and friends. The plot is interesting, sharing heartfelt meditations on grief and moving on. Jana Kramer and Benjamin Hollingsworth have excellent chemistry, and Kelsey Grammer is well cast as the father. 

THE CHRISTMAS RING has a strong Christian worldview. For example, people discuss their faith, pray, read the Bible, and share the Nativity Story. There are also strong moral themes, such as family, friendship, forgiveness, and helping others, along with strong patriotic elements. THE CHRISTMAS RING frequently honors America’s servicemen and women. The movie has brief scenes depicting family dysfunction and a couple sharing a kiss. However, otherwise THE CHRISTMAS RING features no objectionable content.
