Continuity mistake: The morning after her unceremonious landing into the Christmas tree, Ellen's dad is holding the tabloid with the full story. In the very first close-up of the first page he is holding it with his left hand. What follows is a wider shot of him holding it with both hands. (00:04:25)

Continuity mistake: In the close-up of Ellen's phone that shows that yes, there is no signal in the town she's in (go figure), her thumb is at a lower position than in the previous and the following shots. (00:17:00)

Continuity mistake: In the back room of the guest house, Ellen picks up the little notepad with Jake's sketch. She is holding it with the left hand in the top part and the right hand placed lower. When she says "That's adorable" she is holding it the opposite way, and at the cut is back as it was. (00:54:40)

Continuity mistake: Ellen puts in the oven a tray; it has two gingerbread men with blue sprinkles in what is the bottom left corner (upper right of the screen). When she opens the oven, she pulls out a tray with gingerbread men that perfectly alternate between red and blue. (01:03:20)

Continuity mistake: Jake hears Silent Night at the diner, and stands up. Look at the menu in front of Ellen as she asks him if he's okay; it has the right corner pointed towards her. When he walks away, the menu is tilted the exact opposite way, left corner down. (00:27:30)

Continuity mistake: During the lunch break with dad, Ellen pitches him the idea of a Valentine party fundraiser. In one shot she has her fingers on top of her smartphone but, before and after, her hand is just in another spot on the table, by the dish. (00:08:20)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Ellen is surprised by Gray while she is hugging Jake. Eliza Taylor turned around in the first shot, head and body too, which moves to the side noticeably. But in the reverse shot she is still literally in Jake's arms. (01:07:40)

Continuity mistake: Jim Langford meets his daughter in the boardroom; as the scene begins, when the camera is behind Neil Crone he is standing with his arms folded towards the centre, but in between he is shown from the front and his arms are straight down his side. (00:05:05)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Jake puts down the receiver after Gray's call got disconnected. The cord is towards him. When he walks towards the middle of the room to quarrel with Ellie, you can see the phone is turned the opposite way. The cord dangles in front of the counter now. (00:34:45)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Ellie drives to the hotel a car loaded with gifts. Look at her scarf when she joins Jake and the sheriff in front of the building. Look at her after the cut showing the car. It's like she took her scarf off and wrapped it differently around her neck during that couple of seconds. (01:06:30)

Continuity mistake: When Ellen's dad asks her to hand him the credit cards, she is turning towards him almost fully, but in the reverse shot she's still holding her cart, facing forward with her body. (00:12:20)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Ellen received the mission from her dad. He boyfriend is opening the fridge door, which contains a lemon. The lemon is in a different position at the cut. Moreover, in that new shot he is holding the bottle in his left hand, but he holds it with both in the front view that follows. (00:09:20)

Continuity mistake: Talking with Alice after his morning chat with his daughter, Jim asks her if she thinks he spoiled Ellen. Doing so, he hands her the document he just signed. And of course, he hands it to her using the left hand in the first shot, which turns into the right hand in the reverse shot. (00:06:35)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Ellen loads the biscuits in the trunk of the car as Debbie tells her about Mr. Martin. When she says "I will", her foulard is caught under the chain of her bag. In the reverse shot the foulard is draped above the chain and in different position. (01:03:45)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Gray mentions "Karen from accounting" to Ellen during the first call, she has two fingers reaching around the microphone in the side view, but she is grasping the handset with all fingers together in the previous shot. (00:33:50)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Ellen's dad is heading to his office in the morning, his assistant is reading out loud to other employees the article dealing with her party hijinks (the only sentence on that prop that talks about that subject, by the way). Behind her in there's a woman holding a blue clipboard - she is holding it with the right hand on the corner in the close-up, while it was the left hand in the shot before. (00:04:35)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: After her display of gymnastic (and underwear), Ellen receives the charity donation from the party guest. She says "Toys for Tots thanks you for your generosity"; at the first word she is switching hand position from the top corner of the check to the bottom corner. But at the cut, she is holding it again by the top corner. (00:03:00)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Ellie is about to tell Jake the truth about her, but he is called away to help fix some part of the stage. The woman with the cap is screwing the mock house roughly at the point where Jake is holding the column. At the cut her hand moved at the top of the archway. (01:13:00)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Gray blurts out at the bar Ellen's real name. Jake realises who she is, and there's a reaction shot of Gray realizing he messed up. The olive stick in his martini is in a different position than in the rest of the scene, so is the level of the drink. (01:20:05)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Riding with the mule in the passenger seat, Harold finds himself unable to control his car. Driving the wrong way, he instinctively crosses his arms as a car nearly crashes against him. In the next shot he has just one arm raised and the other already controls the steering wheel. (01:08:05)
