THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – A MERRY HOLIDAY (2019)

 

Christy Dickinson (Kelley Jakle) is a toy company executive who, as a result of her claim to know everything there is to know about the holidays, is invited to a holiday party by a prospective client David Berger (Michael Gordin Shore) where she is expected to show what she knows.

However, it isn’t until after the meeting that she finds out that David is Jewish, and she must learn as much about Hanukkah as she can in order to land the account.

So she enlists the help of her co-worker and friend Samantha Ames (Cory Lee), who introduces her to a teacher from her children’s school, Jonathan Silver (Jake Epstein) who is Jewish and in need of help himself as he has to turn his home into a Christmas Wonderland to impress his girlfriend's father.

After a rocky start they are soon learning about each other’s traditions but along the way they learn things about their own lives, and they grow ever closer, though neither expects anything to come of it.

That is until Christy dumps her selfish unsupportive boyfriend Peter (Jon McLaren) after she found out he lied to her about the reason he couldn’t go to the party with her.

So, she is preparing to go on her own until she learns the Jonathan has been dumped by Heather (Kathryn Kohut), so they go together and it’s a great success.
