Twas two months before Christmas. A cynical, career-driven city girl meets a sweet small-town boy. Despite some bumps in the road, the two fall madly, deeply in love, all just in time for Christmas. Itâs a tale destined to be told and retold over the festive period every single year until the end of time.
Sometimes the small-town boy is a charming, white-toothed prince. Sometimes heâs a single dad who regains his Christmas spirit. Other times, two polar opposite people wake up in each otherâs bodies and are forced to learn a festive lesson before the sun rises on Christmas morning. While some of the ingredients might be switched around, the finished product is always the same: a cosy Christmas movie.
