Avonlea Christmas - Spin-off from Anne of Green Gables and Road to Avonlea

Fantastic movie, gripping story, powerful characters, charming movie sets, and all of the right ingredients to fully and completely pull you in. To me, these characters feel like actual family -- they're captivating! I want to go back in time and live in Avonlea!!! I LOVE "Road to Avonlea" and LOVE "An Avonlea Christmas!" Am sure that you will, too!

I liked this movie. I own all 7 "Road to Avonlea" series and after the last episode I felt like something was missing. This movie completes the series. It was the missing piece for me. Before I purchased it, I read a review that stated that Gus was not in this movie. I was disappointed but since I was expecting that Gus would not be there I was able to enjoy the movie with what characters were there.I had always wanted to buy the "Road to Avonlea" series since I was 14 years old and so here I am 15 years later finally buying the series to find out what happened. I had watched the first three series on the Disney channel and I always wanted to find out how the romance between Gus and Felicity turned out so the end of the seventh series left me wanting to hear more about Gus and Felicity's life together which I did find out a bit more about in this movie. It gave closure to the series. Also since Hetty has become one of my favorite characters in the series, I was glad to know that she was one of the main characters in this Avonlea Christmas movie as well. As usual, this and any Avonlea series or movie is appropriate for children and adults and is beautifully done.

The old Avonlea Christmas DVD had been scratched. So, I decided a Remastered DVD would be good.I can't believe the difference between the two DVDs. I am so glad a remastered product was availableto buy.

Many of the characters you know and love show up for this special, although there are a couple notable exceptions: Gus and Jasper. They are referred to several times, but they never do quite show up. (This is explained in a relatively credible way, of course). Pretty much everyone else is here...celebrating Christmas, visiting Hetty in the hospital, debating the merits of war (Felix is off fighting in World War I for much of the movie) and continuing their lives from the series. It's very well done...they even ramped up the budget a little bit for a couple of war scenes, which was somewhat unexpected.All in all, if you liked the series, you'll definitely like this special.

This is pure Avonlea. A delightful feel-good warm ending Christmas story for the entire family. It is beautifully filmed with the old country look that we all wish for our own Christmas times.It is a war story taking place on the home front as boys head to war, and only some return. It has a Scroogie old lady school teacher, who learns at Christmas time that love of family is available and worthwhile. There are other individual struggles but as in all good "G" rated stories, all's well that ends well.If hearing the name "Avonlea" congers up good thoughts, then you will enjoy this DVD to the max.

I was looking for seasons 4-7 of "Road to Avonlea" and noticed this episode. I was not aware that any additional specials in this series had been released. I immediatly ordered it, it came quickly. I watched it the day that it came. Fabulous! I grew up watching "Road to Avonlea", "Anne Of Green Gables", "Anne of Avonlea", etc. It was so nice to see that they had created a new chapter to this story. If only there were more! This is one of the best, most wholesome series that was ever filmed and I recommend this DVD to anyone that enjoyed "Road To Avonlea".

I like movies that depict this period of time and I especially like movies from Canada. They know how make good movies that are entertaining and very enjoyable. I have watched this movie many times and I never get tired of it. In fact...I bought the series "Road to Avonlea" because I like this one so much. I recommend it for anyone who enjoys wholesome entertainment. There is drama, romance, comedy and great interaction between the characters. I'll watch many time over and won't get tired of it. I won't spoil the ending for anyone thinking about buying it...I really connected with the ending.

GREAT CHRISTMAS MOVIE!!! NOT LIKE THE SAME BORING AND DUMB HALLMARK CHRISTMAS MOVIES THEY HAVE BEEN MAKING FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS!

Great movie and nice to revisit some of the characters of the series.I will be honest I love Road to Avonlea. I've watched it many times when I was younger and I was super happy to be able to have the series at home and watch it whenever. So when I saw the movie that I had never seen before I was excited and happy to have it and watch it. It was nice but I thought that some of the magic that made the Road to Avonlea series so great was missing. Still giving it 5 stars because the actors were great and the movie itself was really enjoyable but some of the characters were talked about but missing from the movie and others were not even mentionned (Gus Pike, Izzy Pettibone and her father for example, Sara Stanley) and it's I think what made it lacking in the magic of the show.Still a good movie to have if you are like me and love the show and want to "collect" all that's related (movie, all the episodes, etc ...).

Ein Freund hat sich ein " abgefahrenes T-Shirt " zum Geburtstag gewünscht und der Wunsch ging in Erfüllung!Passt prima und auch sonst ist alles super, gerne wieder.P.S.Motive sind alle fantastisch und die Wahl fällt schwer, man möchte am liebsten von jedem Motiv ein T-Shirt!

A very worth watching story, carried on from stroryline better than the Anne book about the war which was a complete fabrication as it was Anne's children that fought in the war. This was much more credible with Felix fighting. Only minor factor was that there was no mention of Sarah

Love it

Prob one of the best movies of life. Road To Avonlea is an amazing television series that I didn’t get into until I was in my 20’s. Hated it as a child. But def one of the top 5 tv shows of LIFE , Buy this movie. You won’t regret it
