THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – UNWRAPPING CHRISTMAS: OLIVIA'S REUNION (2024)

 

Olivia Matheson (Cindy Busby) runs a gift-wrapping shop, All Wrapped Up, with her three best friends Lily Morgan, Mia Parker and Tina Mitchell (Ashley Newbrough, Kathryn Davis and Natalie Hall).

Shortly before the Christmas Gala Olivia has to make a large delivery in a remote location about an hour away, the Gala is especially important as All Wrapped Up are sponsoring the event.

When she arrives at the client's address she is stunned to be face to face with her ex-boyfriend Benjamin Hall (Jake Epstein) who she has not seen for four years.

After he invites her in for coffee they argue about their break-up and open up old wounds, so Olivia storms out and begins to drive home, but a sudden snowstorm has closed the road, so she is forced to return to Ben's.

Neither of them are happy with the situation, more so Olivia, as she is unable to get back to help her friends prepare for the gala.

The pair continue to bicker but as the storm worsens, they have to work together to get through the drama and inevitably their old romantic feelings resurface.

However will those feelings thaw when the storm abates.

THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – MERRY PICKLEBALL MATCH (2025)

 

Tennis star Luke Hollis (James Lafferty) finally won a major tournament after a long career in the game and at the press conference announced his retirement before heading home to Pinecrest Florida to his family’s Sandy Lake Racquet Club, however when he returns home, he discovers the club is about to be sold to a developer.

Luke is naturally unhappy, as he learned to play tennis at the club, and he had imagined taking over the business himself, but he is also unhappy that half the club has been converted into pickleball courts, and although he has contempt for the game it appears that Pickleball is the only thing that can save the club.

So along with Caroline (Zibby Allen), the club's pickleball coach, who is fighting to save the club, Luke agrees to compete in the Christmas Pickleball Tournament, which they need to win to save the club.

A tall order because Caroline has to teach Luke to play the game first, which is no mean feat given his disdain for the game, but she gets through to him, in more ways than anyone expected.

TO KEEP TRACK OF FIREPLACES

 

To keep track of fireplaces

He has visited on his slog

Around the globe Santa

Claus has to keep a Log

YOUNG SNOWMEN

 

In the frozen north 

The snowmen

Call their offspring

Their Chill-dren

ALPHABETICAL CHRISTMAS

 

Do you know why the Christmas alphabet

Is one letter short? Then I will happily tell

There are only twenty-five letters in it

Because the Christmas alphabet has Noel

PEERING AT THE WINDOW

 

In the morning Santa stood

At the window to peer

And said to Mrs. Claus

“It looks like rein dear”
