Mason's honest admission, "You made me feel things that I didn't think I could feel anymore," brings out the movie's main ideas of love, healing, and how the holidays can change people.
Andie's hopeful words, "There's nothing better than Christmas!" at the end of the trailer sum up the movie's message of hope and the joy that the holiday spirit can bring, even when things are hard or things change.
