THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – FIVE MORE MINUTES (2021)

 Just before Chicago-based public-school art teacher Clara Bingham (Nikki Deloach) heads home to Fayetteville, North Carolina for the Christmas holidays she discovers she is being laid off and narrowly avoids a proposal from her boyfriend Blake (Jason McKinnon).

In Fayetteville her mother, Bonnie (Sherry Miller) has just inherited the family store, Candy Cane Confectionary, from Grandpa Jerry (Eric Keenleyside) and is struggling with the Christmas rush so Clara is a welcome sight as was a young man called Jay (Alexander Jones) who was and invaluable help in the store.

Clara is overwhelmed on her return because she was so close to her late Grandfather and wishes she had had five more minutes with him at Christmas and it seems to come true when she comes across his old journal when he was a young man and was in love with a girl called Martha.

At the same time she runs into her first love, Logan (David Haydn-Jones) and there are parallels between their history and Jerry and Martha.
