THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – THE HOLIDAY SITTER (2022)

 

New York City Investment adviser Sam Dalton (Jonathan Bennett) has his Hawaiian Christmas plans disrupted when he receives a mayday call from his sister Kathleen Walker (Chelsea Hobbs) and her husband Nate (Matthew James Dowden) four days before Christmas.

They need an emergency babysitter for their children Miles and Dania (Everett Andres and DaMila Morgan) while they go out of town to collect the baby they are adopting.

Sam is a bit of a last choice for Kathleen and Nate as he isn’t much of a family man and doesn’t see the family very often despite being only a two-hour drive away in small town Braden and they’re not sure who will be looking after who.

In the end he is blackmailed into stepping up, but he doesn’t have a significant other due to his unsuccessful dating life.

Thankfully the neighbour Jason DeVito (George Krissa) is on hand to advise and guide and mutual attraction form between them as they are spending time together in a pseudo family life with kids.

But they need to overcome some differences if they are to have a future together.

SIX FIGURES


I only made six figures last year

I shouldn’t brag but I can’t stop

But only six figures wasn’t enough

So, I was sacked from the workshop
