THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – RANDOM ACTS OF CHRISTMAS (2019)

 

Sydney Larkin (Erin Cahill) is a Chicago-based freelance journalist and single mother of eight-year-old Oliver (Jaden Oehr) who struggles with the work life balance even with the help of her mum Lauren (Jaclyn Smith).

She really wants a permanent position, but there is only one opening and she is up against a more cutthroat reporter, Andy Cooper (Hamza Fouad).

Her editor, Perry (Catherine Lough Haggquist), questions Sydney's choice of humanistic stories rather than hard hitting news, ratings grabbers.

Unperturbed Sydney pursues the story about the Secret Santa, who has been performing grand and sometimes elaborate gestures of Christmas cheer, each one  unannounced and the only clue to the perpetrator’s identity being the calling cards left at each event bearing the words "Secret Santa".

At one impromptu event she believes she has stumbled upon the man himself in the back of a van, though he ultimately identifies himself as another freelance reporter, Cole Howard (Kevin McGarry).

After some discussion they decide to join forces to try and decern any kind of pattern to the events, and over the festive period as each new act is revealed a closeness forms between them, but is there more to the story?
